I use my left eye even though I'm right eye dominant. It just feels weird for me to use my right eye.

I'm right handed.. meaning that my left eye is dominant, right?

With that being said, I use my right eye. :)

It is actually unusual to be right handed and left eye dominant, except for major league baseball players. Having opposite eye dominance gives the batter an edge keeping his eye on the ball.. it helps them bat well enough to make it to the bigs.

I am right/right and use my right eye. But I should switch to my left because my vision is actually a little better in my left eye (even though my right is dominant).

Normally i use whichever eye is the closest to the viewfinder, if it's the right one or the left one doesn't matter. Both eyes does the job equally well. :)
