It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing with you John. I got over the lack of aperture ring very quickly. As a matter of fact, it was never an issue for me as I own only one lens that doesn't have an "A" setting, and it lives on my LX. But I can appreciate how others feel about it being missing.
D-FA lenses those "designed specifically for digital cameras" (quoting Pentax) which cover the full 35mm frame & have an aperture ring. IMO there major feature is that they are designed with digital in mind & also cover the full 35mm frame, as opposed to DA's.
