I was very serious. It's not a matter of can or can't, but a matter of speed. I did transition from Sony/Tamron in the past, and now I'm Canon/Olympus. I don't mind which direction it goes, as long as it remains the same within a set. My main interest is wildlife, and you don't get many 2nd chances where opportunity is very short lived. As simple a mistake as turning the zoom ring the wrong direction has lost me shots when transitioning between the systems.
Looking at Sigma, they bother to change the zoom direction depending on the mount, at least for some of their premium lenses but not all of them.
It might not be important to everyone, but that doesn't mean it isn't important at all.
