Re: [OM] So, which Fuji body has the secret sauce???

[Andrew Fildes]

It's a constant problem, from the days of shooting Nikon F and poking yourself 
in the eye when winding. I tend to drop the camera from my face to make thumb 
based adjustments as otherwise it's too cramped. The Leica M3 and some of the 
Voigtlander Bessa's are the best - two eyes open focussing so once I'd forced 
myself to use my right eye for the finder, perfect! (M3 - 0.92x view - not 
exact but good enough. Downhill from there. The CosVoigts have a 1:1 finder). I 
suppose the Exacta was the only true left hand SLR.
