People tend to use the side of their body of their dominant hand. For example a right-handed person kicking a ball with his or her right leg.

Right handed individuals can have a dominant left eye. I am left handed with a dominant left eye, so I use left eye for viewfinder.

Damn. I've been wondering about this for a while but never got around to starting it.

Proves to show that the search function should be used regardless. *cough* 24-70 vs 24-105 vs 17-55*cough*.

Thanks.
