Don't you wish they had an ear operation that could make you hear
like a
15
year old again?

It's not my ears, that I wish for that kind of opearation.

It's my knees. And some other parts too.

Yup! I had to have cortisone shots in my right knee, but that is OT
for
a photo NG unless it hampers taking low level macro shots.

Before auto focus I used my left eye for focusing and viewing most
of the
time, no partiualar reason just seemed to happen that way. Still
prefer my
left eye to the viewfinder. I'm right handed so maybe that's it.

I'm right handed but my dominant eye is the left. Without thinking
about it, I shoot a rifle as would any righthander but use my left eye
to sight it. This used to bother hell out of instructors back in my
army days.


I am the same, and the more I hear from others, it really is not that
unusual, it seems.


Not so much with combat rifles, but certainly left hand actions and
stocks are available for sporting and target rifles. Then for those
shooters with off side dominant eyes there are off-set sights. I have
known many right hand target shooter with left dominant eyes who use(d)
off-set sights (both front and rear micrometer peep sights off-set
between ½ to 2 inches so that the shooter's head can be kept in a
comfortable posture.
There are even off-set sights available for AR-15/M4, M16.

...and if you favor optics you can get off-set scope, Trijicon, or Red
Dot mounts.



Now if cameras were only made to be more convenient for lefties......
