I've had my *ist D for over a year and shot over 10k images with it and I still don't like the body based aperture control. Granted I use it but I can't see one reason that it's so much improved over lens ring based controls that I'd love it? How is it going forward for the user? How can it improve my photography (bearing in mind too that the other two current film bodies that I use regularly only offer aperture control on the lens)?
