aperture ring :-(

I've always wanted the 16-55 to pair with the 50-140 for high-quality theater shots, as the 18-55 is not up to task. However, none of my bodies have IBIS.

I've been reading reviews on the 17-70, IQ seems to be really good, even in corners at wide open. Even though OIS is not as good as Fuji's, it's still there and can help a lot.

The only thing holding me back is the lack of an aperture ring. Fuji put aperture ring on most of their lenses, and thus trained me into relying on it Tamron should do the same when designing for Fuji cameras, instead of simply copying their Sony version.
