Thanks for the info, Cotty.  Too bad.  You know, it's not a factor
just for "regular" manual focusing, but it's also a significant "big
deal" for using "focus confirmation":  With "Pentax-style" focusing,
the viewfinder focusing arrows point in the direction to turn the
focus ring.  With "backwards" focusing, the arrows end up pointing
the "wrong" way.  Tokina even made a point of this in some of its
lens literature - Tokina lenses focus in the direction that
viewfinder arrows point.
