Larry,
But if you are a left eyed shooter it doesn't matter what M model you handle 
it works more efficiently rather than gouging out your right eye attempting 
to advance film with the camera still at your eye.

eyed shooter.

And if you've never used a Tom Abrahamsson RapidWinder for a short period of 
time working from the left eye, it's quite possible to "shoot 3 frames a 
second!" ;-) Doesn't mean they're absolutely excellent, but after some 
serious picture taking time it's quite possible with some types of action 
picture moments.
