It's one of those things I expect to be intuitive. If I want to tighten
something, it goes clockwise. If that snaps a fragile component inside the
camera, I'll never buy their product again. There's simply no need to be
different to the rest of the entire world.

Wow. Don't try driving in the UK; their "on the left" thing (which
obviously violates your rigorous standards) plus your stubbornness
would swiftly prove fatal. As it did to your rental camera.

Frankly, I never even thought of this until now. I've been putting
lenses onto cameras since the 60's and none of them were "wrong" - some
were just different.
