Roland, The fact that a lot of cameras have a crappy manual interface doesn't make me like it any better. If you are going to control the aperture from the body, you need a separate dial from the shutter dial - like the PZ-1p.
That interface is a major reason I will not be getting an *ist - even though I originally budgeted for one. I ended up getting an MX instead. Oh, well - to each his own.
