I can recall once while photographing a model that she noticed that I had
both eyes open while viewing her through the viewfinder of my M4-P.  I'm
sure she wouldn't have noticed this if I were using an SLR.  It emphasized
to me at the time that she was more aware of me than I might otherwise have
realized.
