Thank you, John. A sensible and serious suggestion.

P.S. I am NOT being a wiseass in this response. Honest.

It is handy to develop the use of either eye in RF photography.  I am
left-eyed and use it for accessory shoe finders.  I have trained (not
without difficulty) myself to use my right eye for the regular viewfinder
both horizontal and vertical because the Leica M camera is NOT made friendly
for left-eyed people.
