In fact more than annoyed, I once BROKE a Nikon camera I'd rented, costing me £200, simply by trying to attach the lens in the correct clockwise manner. The rental company was not amused. The bayonet is fine if you never go from one system to another and back, but it grates if you do. Not for me. Everything in life tightens to the right. Taps, screws, etc, etc. Having to do one thing the other way simply will never work for me. 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. cough Sounds to me as if you've never connected a gas hose to a propane bottle! ;-) Or changed a lawn mower blade. No need for either of those to be backwards either. The designers were clearly dimwits. Evidently, you don't understand the mechanics of a spinning lawnmower blade. If the nut tightened in the normal way, the blade would work loose in use. The propane connection as safety feature ensuring that only a proper fitting can be connected to a tank. It stops idiots like you from blowing themselves up. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
