Hmm, Intersting. Very interesting.

Usually this question is put up in the form of a poll.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=199281 has 38% left and 59% right.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=142905 has 18% left and 80% right.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...ad.php?t=83960 has 35% left and 61% right.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...ad.php?t=70834 has 38% left and 54% right.

http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...ad.php?t=54255 also breaks it down into "handedness" 57% right eye/right-handed, 8% right eye/left-handed, 29% left eye/right-handed and 7% left eye/left-handed.

Personally, I am right handed and use my left eye.

I can't see out of the left so that leaves me the right. I think the left would be easier. I am left handed for the record.

I'm right eye dominant and moderately ambidextrous , though any new or novel task I find I can do with either hand - after a while things settle at about 40% of tasks performed left handed - just a bit weird, everyone is different.
