Subject: [Leica] Meter shut-off/shutter lock

>If you're left-eyed, the wind lever pokes you in the
right 
eye when it's in
the on position. Nikon has listened to these
complaints, 
and dropped this
feature from the FM3A.

Another reason I didn't like this camera - which
should really be called the FE3A, as it has the
inferior (IMHO) FE meter read-out.

I understand that left-eye preference is associated
with left-handedness, Does this mean that 80% of
(right-handed) users should be disadvantaged to
accommodate the 20%?
