Re: [photo-3d] Which eye do you close?

[Ron Beck <rbeck@xxxxxxxx>]

I have noticed that, when using a rifle sight, threading a needle or
peering through my Kodak Stereo, I use my right eye.

However, when using a rifle, I have switched from right to left without
a problem.  It seems that, in that case, my right eye gets tired so I
switch to the left for a while.  Difficult to do in prone position as
you have to move but easy to do while standing.

I don't recall using my left eye when using my cameras though, although
I have switched eyes while using my video recorder.

But, for the record, I use my right eye for the majority of times that
require a "one eyed" view.

Regards,
Ron
