THe shutter speed dial goes one way on the F2 that I use a lot. The darned N90 goes the other way! (It turns out that it is possible to get the N90 reprogramed to reverse the direction of the knob.) It does seem as though this is one thing to not change. I wonder what the reason could possibly be in the M6? >Thanks Dominique for the info.
