Still thinking about Peter's actual question. I think the possibility of
switching from right to left eye influenced my migration to Olympus. I was
shooting N*kon when I became interested in trying the left eye for focus.
Very hard with the FM2 and FE2 at the time because the advance lever, when
unlocked for shooting, would poke a left-eyed shooter. I had bought my
wife a cute little OM-1 and found it much better for lefties and never went
back to N*kon much after that, even after switching back to the right eye.
When film ruled, there were a lot of lefties who chose Olympus at least in
part because of this reason.
