I use both, interchangeably. That doesn't mean I change them from one socket to the other. Oh, no. That would probably give me a headache.
I always used to use my left eye until I bought a Leica M. The viewfinder is on the extreme left, so it's more difficult to use the camera with the left eye. So I developed the habit of using the right eye, so now I'm sometimes stuck for choice. The reason I heard for using the right eye is that you can wind on without taking the camera from your eye. I've found this to be true, and useful. Of course nowadays most cameras wind themselves on, so it's not so relevant. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Lucas Rijnders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 27 September 2005 18:58 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Using the right eye, was Re: Poll: Holdning the camera right > > On Tue, 27 Sep 2005 07:41:29 +0200, Jens Bladt > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > I'd like to know how many of you is holding the camera/lens > correctly > > - in the palm of your left hand.
