Re: Old lenses and *ist D

Yea, I agree that it would be nice to make the aperture and speed dials 
more "analogish", the fixed position thing is really an artifact of 
older technology and historical reference points.  Someone is eventually 
 going to do this.

The mechanical aperture ring is a thing of

for focal-length/aperture variations much more accurately this way.

I'd be better convinced by this statement if I could also continuously 
vary the aperture (and shutter speed) in manual mode like I can do on a 
large-format lens.
