Jul 26, 2018 - The importance of training with both eyes open cannot be stressed enough. Science and tips to help you practice, focus and shoot with both. Oct 19, 2016 - Open both your eyes to get the best shot, experts advise. Experts said opening both eyes on a grouse, pheasant or clay pigeon shoot would.
Does anyone out there use Leica or other brand rangefinders with both eyes open? I've been reading about this technique and am feeling handicapped by not being able to utilize it. I am left eye dominant; I view and compose through the viewfinder with my left eye. This puts my right eye directly behind my thumb on a Leica, and I usually close it, since it's nearly useless in that position. I've tried looking through the rangefinder with my right eye and keeping my left eye open to see the surrounding environment, but it gives me a raging headache after 30 seconds, and I can barely focus.
My left-eye dominance has never bothered me before, but for the first time I'm seeing it as a handicap. Do most right-eye dominant people keep both eyes open during shooting? I am right eye dominant, so these cameras were built to fit me.
I leave both eyes open with my Bessa R3A and with 1:1 hot shoe finders all the time. I used an M3 for a bit with both eyes open, not much of a stretch at 0.91 magnification in the finder. However, it becomes more difficult to work with both eyes open as the viewfinder magnification drops, and I think it would be very difficult to use low magnification finders with a non-dominant eye.
I haven't ever had occasion to try that.I'm more likely to take candid people shots with a 1:1 finder and both eyes open because I feel a lot more like I'm there with the group, and not a voyeur hiding behind a camera.Perhaps a 1:1 hot shoe finder and a Leicavit/trigger winder would help with a dominant left eye. The finder gets both eyes above the camera body and the winder means you're not racheting the advance lever through your right eye.A C/V Bessa T and trigger winder would be the least expensive way to try out this setup and see if it works for you.Lee. As a former amateur astronomer I developed a habit to keep both eyes open because having one eye shut you seriously loose in visual acuity of the open eye.
The expuanation, if I get it right, is that our brain, being accustomed to recognise things in stereo vision, looses some vital information about the relative position and dimensions of objects in case if it's received in mono. For this reason the stereo vision seriously strengthens visual brightness of objects and eye's resolving power (the things seen in stereo look brighter and sharper) what is crucial in observation astronomy. I read somewhere that stereo vision boosts visual brightness up 20 percent. I don't think it's that important in photography.
It also can add to the explanation of why viewfinders are now nearly eliminated from consumer-market products. As a former amateur astronomer I developed a habit to keep both eyes open because having one eye shut you seriously loose in visual acuity of the open eye.

It also can add to the explanation of why viewfinders are now nearly eliminated from consumer-market products. I'm trying to get the hang of this technique. With a Cosina Voigtlander Bessa it has delightful moments when the bright frame of the viewfinder floats on a wide field of vision beyond the frame, quite magical.
However I'm left eye dominent (lousy right eye) and the camera does get a little in the way, except in portrait format. As well this model Bessa didn't have 1:1 framing, as the later models do.My Voigtlander Prominent, despite the viewfinder being sort of left eye favourable, catches out both left and right eye preferences, and this is not enhanced by the period qualities of the optics of the viewfinder.My moments of floating a frame over the world and choosing what part of it to capture (please excuse that digital expression!) are so pleasing that I do persist in attempting to get it together.Regards - Ross. Both eyes open, but just with my rangefinder, and just when street shooting.Secret weapon: I bought a Bessa R3A a year ago. From my research & to my knowledge, it is the only rangefinder that has a 1:1 viewfinder, meaning the view through the viewfinder is exactly the same as real life. With both eyes open I have all of my peripheral vision, so I see the things my camera is.not.
Two Eyes Open Shooting
pointing at, and as I pan to capture interesting things, the 1:1 viewfinder doesn't throw me off balance or make me dizzy. All I see are the framelines suspended in space, and the focus patch in the middle. It's really quite something.It was something of a revelation to me after shooting with SLR's trying to cover events and/or keeping one eye out for 'undesirables' heading in my direction, if you know what I mean.
