And for some reason, Leica seems to attract more of its fairshare of left-eyed shooters. With a RapidWinder, the M series is perfect for the left-eyed. Karen p.s. I'm right-eyed, but I have to say, I do not like the pull-advance-lever-to-turn-on with my Leica CL. I always forget to do it and wonder why the meter isn't responding, or my forehead pushes it back in and the meter turns off. -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
