First, I used manual pre-set aperture lenses in the 60's and 70's.  They
were and are a PITA.  I want never to go back that route. 

 Yes, you can preset everything, focus and shoot, but as soon as the light
changes due to the sun, or the placement of the action, or a cloud, or
whatever, you are back to where you started.... slow.  Dead slow.

If you must manually stop down a lens, meter, change aperture/shutter speed,
and recompose, how can anyone think this is not a non-immediate action?

That is why I do not find the lens adapters and Nikon/Canon bodies at all a
solution to the Digi-R.  

YMMV.
