Umm, no. One quirk I understand to be connected with this is that I can't instinctively tell left from right; I can work it out, but have to concentrate/think about it. I've always been told it was because I had a different dominant eye and hand. Does thjis ring a bell with any of the other left-eye right-handers on here?

I'm left eyed but right handed and use my left eye in the view finder. I had always thought it was relatively uncommon, but there seem to be quite a few others on this thread (I've never noticed it as a problem using a camera, except perhaps for the nose marks on the screen). Probably explains why I've never been that good a shot, though!
Interesting - What rationale do you use to concur that? I'm left eyed but right handed and use my left eye in the view finder. I had always thought it was relatively uncommon, but there seem to be quite a few others on this thread (I've never noticed it as a problem using a camera, except perhaps for the nose marks on the screen).

Not here. I have no problem with L and R.One quirk I understand to be connected with this is that I can't instinctively tell left from right; I can work it out, but have to concentrate/think about it.

Ms Smeggy OTOH has real trouble with L and R. I'm not sure which is her dominant eye though, but I know she's right handed. She's asleep now, but If I remember I'll get to to check eye dominance tomorrow
