[Leica] SL and Left-eyed Shooters

[Bob Adler]

Hi Ted,
Well I don’t shoot thousands of frames per week (wish I did!). Yes, the new tech SL. With the Ms it’s no issue FOR ME to be a left eyed shooter, but with the newer SL, I seem to have difficulty. As Tina does not, I’ll have to try harder ;-)

Great story about the football game though of course not much fun for you. Thanks for sharing this!
Keep well,
Bob
