FYI
Nikon deleted the aperture ring only from their G, cheapo lenses. This only
effects users of MF bodies. The aperture is controlled from the body for
all of
the AF cameras. All the AF lenses have a lock to keep the lens at its smallest
aperture (A) setting.

That would be the only reason to replace the diaphragm ring, to save money
I doubt very much the Nikon is removing them from their lenses because
their user base demanded it

Well, they already have a minimum aperture lock - but it's a tiny thing and
quite simple to overlook.

The recent Nikon announcement of a 70-200 f/2.8
AF-S/VR G lens makes me furious. No more apeture
ring! How can they do that. Nikon is going backwards
technologically. What a shame.
I am switching to Pentax which is not going backwards.

I don't think they will since most of their cameras currently sold is
dependent on an aperture

pre-fire via the self timer, DOF preview, PC jack, and a little window in
the pentaprism to let you see the aperture setting (like the MX and
LX.) It also has a needle meter display, and the analog info is great.
