"Most of them" adding aperture rings made me wonder. Am I always buying the "wrong glass"? Can you give a current example - let's say, the lens is on market for no longer than 3 years - of an AF lens from third-party manufacturer with an aperture ring on Nikon verison? These rings are on their way to extinction, I only see them on manual focus lenses or older models.

 

As someone who uses MF only occasionally, I don't care that Tamron and Sigma usually go the Canon way of focussing direction, for me it's more like try and error, than a "learnt by long hours of doing" process.

 

I think I should edit it to say "Only Zeiss adds an aperture ring on the Nikon version" instead. At least they do their job properly.
