I don't think they will since most of their cameras currently sold is dependent on an aperture ring. The lack of aperture ring is for one reason only; save cost. It may not make much difference on an expensive lens as the VR 70-200 Nikkor but it make great deal over a whole lens line. This probably signalize that Nikon will gradually phase out the aperture ring on their lenses becoming more like Canon. This could probably be understood in the light of digital.
