>>153198 >when the EOS system was first introduced, aperture rings probably felt more natural to 90% of photographers, just because they had used them for twenty years. Yeah, that's probably one of the biggest things that lead to the absolute failure of the EOS system and Canon's eventual bankruptcy in 1992.
>A manual back-up if the aperture control dial fails. It would be a really weird user interface. Nikon has it like that with its pre-G lenses, where you have to have the aperture knob set to a specific aperture or it doesn't work properly.
Additionally, it's another potential point of mechanical failure for a lens (and remember, EOS lenses were already complicated for their day, since this was the start of the AF era), another thing that has to be weather sealed in the high-end lenses. And all of this for zero benefit to the vast, vast majority of photographers, and very little benefit even to the tiny few who would ever derive any benefit whatsoever from it.
Shit, I've been trolled again, haven't I?
