Funny. Same thread appeared on one professional PJ list few weeks ago ;-) Same answer, then: I used to shoot with the left eye. I am left handed, and also left-eyed. I switched to my right eye with the Leica, it makes seeing outside world easier, and I almost poked my eye out everytime I advanced

I used to use my left eye but my vision has gotten so bad in it that I've had to switch over to the right. It took some getting used to. The thing I like about it is that I can use my left eye to see what is happening outside the viewfinder. Dave On 9/28/05, Lucas Rijnders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr

Re: Using the right eye, was Re: Poll: Holdning the camera right

I am left eye dominant. On top of that, as my eyes are aging just a bit, my contact correction is such that the right eye is purposefully weaker to make it easier to read up close. This means that for focusing, it is useless. The left eye is the one I use. Even though it means that if I were us

Re: Using the right eye, was Re: Poll: Holdning the camera right

Hi, I use my left eye. I tried the right, but it doesn't work. Sometimes annoying, when using the KX when the advance lever has to be moved out a bit to activate metering. So I most often use it with an incident meter. This means also that I must move the camera away from the eye to advance f

Re: Using the right eye, was Re: Poll: Holdning the camera right

Left. I'm near sighted differently on each eye, and back when I didn't use contacts (or glasses) my left eye was my "good one". Now, with contact lenses on both eyes, I suppose I could go to the right, but it doesn't feel, well, right. j On 9/27/05, Lucas Rijnders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On

I'm a left eye-r too. My left eye is dominant, tried switching to the right, no way. When I shoot, I always remove my glasses (have diopter set), to avoid the inevitable thumb marks on my right lens if I try to adjust anything with the camera up to my eye. Course now, if anyone else in the family
