Re: [OM] Maitani's one design flaw

[Wayne Katez]

Several manufactures used the different direction method - a couple, 
including early hassies ( I don't know about current ones) used ev 
exposure and the rings locked together so that which ever you moved in 
either direction the exposure stayed the same - like if you decided you 
needed a higher shutter speed, or less depth of filed, and didn't want 
to re-meter (manually) or worse, think.
