Right handers are apparently left-side dominant and left handers are the opposite. The left side of the brain controls the right limbs, but I'm not sure how it relates to the eyes - if at all. But I'm no brain surgeon. I think you're right about this but I'm too busy Googling camera stuff to research the facts...... Ade H wrote in post #5861243 The both eyes open thing can work well. It feels much more relaxed and retains some peripheral vision, which is handy for action and sports. It also avoids straining the unused eye (through squinting I guess), which I always find is a problem. I shoot mostly sports and will keep my right eye open to see, cars approaching through a turn, pitchers winding up, quarterback scrambling looking for the receiver I'm tracking...or NOT!...etc. to help time my shots.

. My vision is better in my right eye, so I guess I just naturally save it for surveying the whole scene. It doesn't feel awkward to me at all. I've never had trouble reaching the controls on my camera because of it.
