I just realized, when reading the Leica M book by Gunter Osterloh, that I have been using my wrong eye when using a Leica. I've been used to that when using SLRs and I just carried that to my Leica M6 (and now M9); I also keep my right eye closed. However, after reading this book and doing some searches on various forums, it seems like the Leica M cameras were designed with right eye in mind!
I can probably get used to using my right eye (I can see the advantages, a big one being my nose is no longer in the way!), but I'm finding it very hard to focus with both eyes open. I love the wide field of view, but I can barely see the split image in the rangefinder patch and often there's a second, larger image coming through my left eye!
Obviously, I can continue to use my left eye as I've always done, but I was wondering how people using right eye and both eyes open focus.
Thanks!
