Some random thoughts on why Pentax placed the exposure bar oriented
vertically in the MZ-S.
1. When you think of something being "over or under" exposed you're
naturally thinking vertically.
2. The exposure bar in the PZ-1p is placed vertically along the right
side of the image in the view finder (so Pentax is following recent
tradition).
Personally, I prefer the vertical display. I shoot B&W exclusively
using the Hyper Manual mode with Spot metering and a modified Zone System
approach. To me the vertical display seems natural.
