Kodak produced a few cameras in the 1930s 1940s and 1950s that seemed to
be designed by left handers, I don't think that helped sales, or hurt
them for that matter.

Right handed. Dominant right eye which I use for the viewfinder.
I am quite surprised by the number of "left eye" responses there have been. It
seems that the camera controls and viewfinder are laid out to favor righties. I wonder if
there is a market for a lefties' camera body...

Q: Are you right-handed or left-handed (or ambidextrous)
A: Strongly left-handed
Q: When you use a camera viewfinder, which eye do you put to the viewfinder?
A: Right eye, because of how the camera is shaped. I'm also right
eye dominant, so it works better anyway.
I'm curious because I am right-handed and have always (unthinkingly)
put the viewfinder to my right eye. However, a recent eye examination
has discovered that I have cataracts and my right eye is significantly
worse. With a new prescription they say they can get me to 20/25 and
I'll need cataract surgery eventually, but I'm wondering if, in the
meantime, I can successfully train myself to use my left eye to the
viewfinder.
You can train yourself to do anything if you have the desire to do it.
You may notice that things look slightly different. For me my left
eye is slightly more red sensitive and my right eye is slightly more
green sensitive. It's not something that I notice in normal,
day-to-day life, but it is noticeable when I compare them.
