I'm still not getting a clear answer on the use of a G lens without an
aperture ring though.

The short answer is that G lenses are virtually useless on manual focus
bodies. While in an emergency you might be able to record an image
by using one, if you want to use the G lenses you're far better off
buying an inexpensive AF body like an N/F75.
