I've found just the thing for you! You can now shoot left handed it looks like using this grip.

Someone reviewed the alpha version of this grip (or maybe it was the canon, I forget) and said it sucked bad compared to the other opteka grip. Considering the rest of the controls are still right hand oriented having a left handed shutter button would have its uses, but would be minimally functional.

I'm a lefty as well and by the time you hit school age I think most lefties are closer to ambidextrous than left handed, its a right handed world unfortunately (with a few exceptions).

Yeah I agree, I saw a show recently on TV where they had a whole lot of left handed products, like a left handed corkscrew (apparently it's easier to get force pushing away from the body, so it goes counter clockwise instead of clockwise). I thought about the things they had on there, but I'd find it more difficult... so used to the right handed things that we use everyday.

I am planning on buying the Lowepro Slingshot 200 and while it looks like a great bag, the strap goes over the right shoulder and I prefer to have messenger bags and sling bag go over my left shoulder.

Am I alone with feeling or are there other leftys, who wish for a bag like that?
Maybe I should mention it to Lowepro.

Do you have to use it with the camera upside-down if you want to shoot left-handed for landscape shots (which, btw, you can do with a regular grip)? :confused: :lol:
