This seems counter- intuitive to me. The front wheel should be for the lens, and the back dial (right behind the shutter!) should change speeds. At least the 1D MkII has a custom function to reverse this; but on my 30D, there is no similar CF, so I'm always turning the wrong dial when I to change the f/stop.
