I can only second you Cotty. When using long lenses operating aperture
via aperture ring on the lens is simply pain. It is not so easy to
operate when lens has tripod mount and is mounted on tripod too... For
short, small lenses aperture ring on the lens is OK.

I don't find it too much of a problem. If you have the whole rig on a
tripod, you effectively have one hand free. Right hand holding the
boddy and working the shutter release, left hand can work the aperture
ring. Or am I missing something?
