Seems that the *ist-Ds will work like the zx-10, well sort of...

Of course on a PZ-1 there's a good reason to select the aperture ring method, but that particular reason doesn't apply to the *ist D.
And on the cameras (like the ZX-10) where the aperture control from the body is a rather awkward Rebel-like push-button-while-toggling-switch, the advantage to the aperture ring is that it's easier. (But I don't use a ZX-10 as a general rule.)
