Canon To Bring Smooth Aperture Adjustment Rings To DSLRs?

If you've been in photography for more than ten years, you probably remember the way things used to be on old film cameras. There was no electronic interconnect between the lens and the body, so lens-related functions (focus, zoom, aperture) were on the lens and body-related functions (ASA, shutter speed) were on the body. That changed as autofocus and auto-exposure, particularly on digital cameras, necessitated a data connection between the lens and the body. While we never did away with the focus and zoom rings, aperture went right out the window and was electronically controlled. A few nice cameras have aperture rings now — the X100, for instance — but generally speaking you can't find one except on professional cinema gear these days. But Canon may be looking to change that.
