Hey great! Now I know I'm left-eyed and right-handed (I used the right
hand for the pointing part of the exercise). We might be a strong
minority here.
Apart from film advance levers sticking out on some cameras (glasses
help), I've never seen that as a disadvantage, as the viewfinder tends
to be central on most SLRs. Rangefinder cameras in contrast often have
the viewfinder on the left side, favouring right-eyed persons. But then,
maybe being left-eyed actually isn't the problem but being long-nosed
is.....
