budrichard Posted March 1, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 1, 2010 Most manual wind 35mm cameras are designed for right eye use due to the location of the wind lever on the right side of the camera. When you wind using your right eye, you do not have to move the camera from your eye. That said, I am left eye dominant and have always used my left eye causing me to move the camera from my left eye to wind. Of course motor drives solved that problem and all my 35 mm cameras usually have motors attached. Determine which is your dominant eye and that's probably the reason you use your left.-Dick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jager Posted March 1, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2010 I was a left-eye shooter for decades, despite my dominant eye being my right side. Still am when shooting a DSLR. I made the somewhat frustrating switch three years ago after buying my M8. As you left-eye digital-M shooters know, it's almost impossible to keep the rear LCD screen clean when you press your nose against it on every shot. I'm now quite happily a right-eye M shooter!

stunsworth Posted March 1, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 1, 2010 IAs you left-eye digital-M shooters know, it's almost impossible to keep the rear LCD screen clean when you press your nose against it on every shot. Why is that a concern? It wipes off easily enough and you're unlikely to scratch the screen with your nose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEB Posted March 1, 2010 Share #10 Posted March 1, 2010 Left eyed and nosing the screen is why I use a Luigi 1/2 case with a hinged flap. Mark Blumer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 1, 2010 Share #11 Posted March 1, 2010 Most manual wind 35mm cameras are designed for right eye use due to the location of the wind lever on the right side of the camera. I think you'll find that is actually because most people are right handed and therefore right thumbed. It does not follow that right handed people are always or necessarily right eyed. All this "using the right eye to shoot with is the correct way" is complete nonsense, IMHO. I'm right handed and left eyed and I couldn't care less what other people do.

pop Posted March 1, 2010 Share #12 Posted March 1, 2010 There's a simple test to find out whether you are left or right eyed. With both eyes open, point at a small target with the index finger of one hand. Take care not to move your finger. Biefly close each eye. Your "leading" eye will be the one which aligns with the target and the finger. You learn that in the shooting range. I am righthanded and -eyed.

gberger Posted March 2, 2010 Share #16 Posted March 2, 2010 Left Eye - - no choice since I have macular degeneration in my right eye. I've found that using my left eye, I can really brace the camera against my head (skull) and reduce tremors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
!Nomad64 Posted March 2, 2010 Share #17 Posted March 2, 2010 Left-eyed since ever and greasing the LCD screen all the time, but right-handed, which happily makes me an awful rifle shooter - aiming with the left eye and pulling the trigger with the right finger puts all bystanders at risk :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted March 2, 2010 Share #18 Posted March 2, 2010 As well as being left handed and left footed I've also found that anything that involves using both hands I do in a righthanded manner. So while I write with my left hand and hold a pint in my feft hand, I hold a cricket bat or guitar as if I were righthanded. Oddly enough this also extends to eating crisps. I hold the bag in my left hand and eat the crisps with my right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
