What is difficult about that? It depends on your choice of subject and what you want in your photos. For my subjects and for what I want in my photos, the time used moving the aperture ring costs me the picture I want, particularly since I want to choose a particular aperture, not an approximate aperture, to get correct exposure with a particular (manual) shutter speed.
