Huh?

The aperture markings are on the bottom of the barrel?  Sounds...
non-ergonomic.....

BTW, the F and FV is supposed to have a slightly brighter VF than the
FT.....  I am searching for the FV or cheap F for use... I prefer  the
brighter VF over a meter.....

Be careful how you match the body to the lens. The lenses for the FT  
have the f stop marked 0 to 6 which correspond to how the internal  
meter displays. On these lenses the conventional f stops are also on  
the lens but on the opposite side of the lens so you have to turn the  
camera upside down to see them. The lenses made for the older model F  
have conventional f stops. If you look at what KEH sells the lenses  
are marked either F or FT. However I believe, but not sure, that both  
lens versions fit both the F and FT bodies.
