MKII Setting the ISO Speed

[JCDoss]

But I wouldn't say the current design is Stupid,
Stupid, Stupid. They've obviously consulted many working pros on
this camera. So there's a reason it is the way it is.

The design is the same as it was for FILM SLRs. I think it could stand to be re-considered now that DSLRs are becoming the norm. Changing ISO should be as easy as changing aperture and shutter speed...

... try it, it's easy. Take the time to learn changing important settings without looking.

Do I understand this correctly from pg 47 of the manual, that in
order to change the ISO speed you have to press two buttons at the
same time on the left side of the camera? So I"m holding my
telephoto lens and I have to press two buttons on the left side of
the camera in order to change the ISO? I'm hoping there is some
custom setting that will allow me to map another button or
something. This is the second thing that smacks me as not-so-bright
in terms of the ergonomics of the buttons. If there is some
workaround please let me know. (but please don't bother listing
reasons why this is just fine or why a person shouldn't care )
I'm sure I'm not the only photographer who changes his ISO
relatively often and would prefer to be able to access that
function with greater ease than needing to press two buttons at the
same time prior to making an adjustment. Hopefully the solution to
this will be as simple as my previous question.
