I can't remember who, but someone asked why my statement below made sense to me.
I couldn't put my finger on it (so to speak) until now (other than the fact that it "just felt right"). Here's my explanation. My last cameras were an LX and MX. With those cameras I used my right thumb to turn the shutter speed dial and my left hand to adjust aperture. Now that I have the *ist-D, I still want to use my right thumb to adjust shutter speed; this leaves my right index finger to change aperture. Anyway, it just makes sense to me.
