You can still adjust both aperture and shutter speed, Frank, but  you
don't do it on the lens. For Canon cameras like the 1Ds MKII, there
are two different thumb wheels - on adjusts the shutter speed the
other the aperture. It gets a bit confusing because, in best Japanese
fashion, which wheel does what can change depending on which exposure
mode you've selected. It took about a day to get used to although in
full manual mode the aperture control uses the very large wheel at the
back of the camera so you're mucking around with something beside your
cheek. I don't like it nearly as well as having the aperture ring on
the camera.
