The question of eye dominance...

Are you left eye dominant, or right eye dominant?
Do you use the same eye to look through the view finder or opposite eye or go between the two?

Is eye dominance linked to right brain / left brain stuff?

Left / Left

From the medical journals that I've read, left-eye dominance is usually an indication of a higher percentage of brain utilization and strikingly good looks.

Right hand; left eye dominant.
Shooting a camera I use myleft eye;

The left eye dominance thing has me all messed up when shooting rifles; I can only shoot "left handed" and finding left hand bolt action rifles ain't easy.

As a lefty, I know exactly how you feel. Quickly operating the r/h bolt with your left sucks. Doing it with your right means you're bound to smash your left hand under the bolt.:lol:

Left-eyed and left handed which really screws me up when firing a right-handed only rifle!

Same exact thing with me. Rifle I shoot lefty, pistol with my right (mostly, pays to be ambexterous(sp) :D ) camera righty and use the left eye, No wonder I live in a state of confusion :lol:

That's true! :D I'm also a lefty / lefty (i.e., left-eye dominant, and use my left eye on the camera). I'm right-handed.

By the way, this is the third or fourth time I've seen a poll about this in the forums here.
