Does anyone know why the Oly shutter speed control was designed to be a
ring around the lens rather than a dial somewhere else? It has always
seemed an awkward feature of an otherwise perfect camera. It almost kept
me from buying one. Does it save some great amount of space inside the
thorough stuffed innards of the OM camera to do it that way?
I always liked the kind that were around the shutter release and hung over
the front of the camera so that you could roll them with the edge of your
finger. The first Leicaflex had one like that.
