No, I've always shot the way it says to in the Leica IB's, the left hand holding the left side of the camera, the right hand the right side. I never thought about it before. I guess I'll have to experiment now! (And, yes, I follow Hasselblad's recommendations when using my 2000 FC/M and Franke & Heidecke's instructions with my Rolleiflex TLR's.)
