I've never seen one but it may be that they inserted an idler linking the shutterspeed dial to the cams that were once coaxial with the old dial. That would account for the reverse rotation. But like I said. I've never seen one or heard much about it so I can only speculate. If they did do that it would be real stupid. Also, I think the arrows are arranged to point in the direction that you should turn the aperture ring in order to balance exposure. It's a psyco-visual linear to rotational transformation thing (PVLRT) See Ya Javier
