But the point wasn't if it makes sense isolated. But whether it makes sense in
conjunction with its control dial which goes left right. For me at least, theres no
"logic" direction for a left/right wheel in order to make, say, the scale go up.
In addition, that the bar graph goes up for overexposure certainly isn't in hamony
with other, older Pentax bodies. On eg. the LX making the the bar graph go up means
shorter shutter speeds - underexposure.
Most people, and all text books, visualize exposure as varying around a zero value on
a horizontal scale. Hell, all trains of numbers that relate to each other are
visualized on a horizontal scale. The same is the case for the aperture scale used in
calculating exposure.
