I made this error quite a bit early on when using 
the 75mm or 90mm especially shooting with a 
rangefinder from the shadow side; the far eye 
is easier to focus with.  It is an error only because 
most of the time I prefer the near eye to be the one
more in focus, unless of course the contrast is high 
and the near eye is in deep shadow.  YMMV
