Well my Leicas either have a film type reminder dial on the door or an ISO selector, my Pentax cameras have a window to the film canister or slot for the end of the film packet and an ISO dial to quickly gaze on. I'm constantly changing the effective ISO when shooting digital and I'd appreciate an always visible ISO reminder display. The only options to check at the moment are operational kludges.
