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

ring. Or am I missing something?
If you have a long lens with tripod mount it is usually more difficult
to reach aperture ring comforatably because mounted on tripod mount
comes in the way.
Depends on the lens. No problem for even my huge hands with Tamron 300/2.8
Of course if a lens doesn't have tripod mount then
there is no problem using aperture ring :-) But using long lenses when
you hold and operate camera with your right hand and support long &
heavy lens with left hand - especially if it is something like
80-200/2.8 zoom, when you have to operate zoom and often focus with left
hand - then it is undoubtely much easier to operate aperture from body.
I can't handhold the 300 - well, I can but it's a waste of film...8-)
