Default Right eye or Left eye?

I am technically right handed ( I can write with both hands well). I however shoot left eye. From what I understand this is sort of weird

Which eye do you shoot with?

Most people shoot with the dominant eyel Tichecj fir eye dinance, all you need is as eye sheld. /staur at an ifhect abiyt 29 feet (13.8m) ; keeping bith eyes open,cover one eye. Quicklu move the cover ti the other eye. Did the target object appear to move? If no the origional eye is dominate.If it moved, the origionally covered eye is non dominant. A very few peoople have bdomance. Jope this synoke test helps lol.

My right eye needs 4.75 dioptre correction, the left only 0.5, so I always use my left eye.

I use both eyes and alternate throughout the day because 12 hours is just too long to use only one. I also shoot with both eyes open in most cases.

Huh?



I shoot photos with my left eye and write with my left hand, but most everything else I'm right handed. Some things I can do with either hand. (no wise cracks)
