All I am saying is that what you are thinking is "confusing" 
(user-unfriendliness is what I have experienced) and will not solve 
the problem.

The camera meters at open no matter what you set the ring to. I set 
the ISO 3 stops darker than the desired exposure, so it overexposes by 
3 stops. This means that open+3 is the actual correct exposure, thus I 
have 3 stops either side.

Of course it's so user-unfriendly that I may have got the above wrong 
even in the description, so I quickly bought a -5n. I very frequently 
stopped down without fixing the compensation, and occasionally 
compensated the wrong way.

The linkage is the only way to do it fully and properly.
