So, y'all have no problem with the backwards focus and aperture rings on Nikons? I bought a Canon a few years back partly on the theory that that would make me insane. Was I thinking too much? (FWIW, the rest of the the reasons included how remarkably quickly one can work with the EOS-1, and the strides Canon seemed to be making with zooms. But while I remain impressed with the the awesome effectiveness of the EOS-1 as a picture-taking machine, I still don't really *like* it... it tends to collect a patina of dust while my M6 collects scuffs and fingerprints and pictures.) - -J
