This was pretty stupid on Leicas part. I just bought a second M6 non-TTL 
because of this. I cannot imagine mixing the the shutter speed dial 
directions. What a chance for a screw up.

I also wonder why the arrows could not have been a + and -. This would 
supply more information without requiring any interpretation by the user.
