		| | 1. do you use your left or right eye to compose through the viewfinder? 2. you right or left handed?
 
 on a personal level, I use my left eye and I'm right handed.
 I felt that my right eye has a "cooler" colour and my left eye has a "warmer" colour viewing.... weird...

		| | I'm right handed and use my left eye. I think I use my left because I can't close one eye and not the other. When putting my left eye to the viewfinder I can keep my right eye open and the camera body blocks light getting to it, so I can see the viewfinder image clearly. If I try to compose using my right eye, I can still see a ghost image from my left eye since the camera body doesn't block it.

		| | I use my brain to compose, but I look through the viewfinder with my right eye becouse I find it easier to close my left eye...

		| | Left eye dominant Hold camera right handed
 Shoot Guns left handed (I do NOT hunt animals, I was on a rifle team)
 Write right handed
 Shoot a Bow left handed even though my right is stronger.
 Hit baseball/softball right and left handed
 Throw right handed (Fastest pitch recored 89 mph, weak!)
 Boxing (when I use to box) Right but could go lefty.
 Catch left handed
 Kick left footed (longest field goal 42 yards)
 
 I'm all mixed up!

		| | Left eye, right handed.  My right eye is incredibly weak compared to my left eye. 
 Oh, and most of the time I don't look through the viewfinder when I shoot anyway.  Either I use the LCD screen (and soak up my batteries) or I just point the camera in a general direction and push the butan.

 Looks like you were given excessive amounts of ambidextrose when you were a baby. Can you eat or paint (or eat paint for that matter) with your feet?

 LOL - no but if I try to right left handed, I can right backwards. :)

		| | Rught-handed, right eye.  For fast happening action, left eye stays open to give me a wide-angled situational view |

		| | Right-handed, use my right eye. 
 Like one of the earlier posters, I've noticed a slight colour temperature difference between my eyes.

 That would be me.
 The colour temperature difference is quite apparent actually :)

		| | I think cameras are designed for right-handed and right-eyed. 
 I'm left-handed and left-eyed and always press buttons with my nose, very anoying.
