I think the best design I ever tried out was a larger dial on top that
overhangs the front of the camera and you roll it from the front with the
side of your finger. Several manufacturers have used this from time to
time. The one I tried on a Leicaflex was wonderfully easy, secure and
precise. You could probably put it on the front of the camera overhanging
the top edge and roll it too.
