I know that aperture dials are not your preference. I also am very familiar with the purpose of an aperture ring. I was turning them when you were still in knickers. But I responded to your post in like manner. I own a number of lenses that have aperture dials rather than aperture rings. I certainly didn't bemoan the disappearance of the dial. I won't bemoan the disappearance of the ring. What was practical yesterday is not necessarily practical today. They all serve the same purpose.
