We should all remember that it is the current (i.e., classic) M6 that has a backwards-turning shutter-speed dial. Unlike the aperture ring, which you turn in the direction of the red led arrow to set exposure, you turn the shutter speed dial in opposite direction that the arrow is pointing. The R6.2 shutter speed dial makes much more sense. You turn it in the direction of the arrow, just like the aperture ring. Now, Leica has corrected the M6 in the new TTL version so that it's consistent. Only on the LUG would we decry such a design improvement. ;-) Jim Laurel Business Development Manager Microsoft Digital Television jplaurel@microsoft.com (425) 703-1143 http://www.microsoft.com/dtv
