Which lenses are you referring too because I believe it does allow you to use the old lenses...

"...but also full support for the company's pre-1977 non-AI (Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing, in other words, automatic metering) lenses without fiddling. "
What I think he means is a way to focus manually with a split screen instead of just an AF POINT. I currently shoot a D800 with a Leica lens and have to use the AF confirmation along with manually focusing the lens to use it. It would be significantly easier if I had a split screen patch inside for me to manually focus the camera.
I'm wishing for that too.
