For some reason I'm in the mood to nitpick today... The reason this annoys me on my M6TTL is that turning the shutter speed to "Off" is one extra thing to have to do rather than just jamming the camera in my bag/pocket/whatever. Sure, it's not _that_ big a deal, but ideally I would prefer a combination on/off AND shutter lock like the one on the Nikon FM2 where you pull the advance lever out slightly to turn the camera on. I find that I do this anyway out of habit, so it'd be perfect for me.
