I use my left eye. I find my shots are hit and miss if I try to look through and outside of the viewfinder at the same time. If I need to get a reference point, say on a moving object, I look at it normally and wait until it's closer to entering the frame. Then I look through the viewfinder.

Seeing past the viewfinder was more important to me when videotaping and walking at the same time.

Whew, passed that test. Must be because it's in the manual :o)

On a related subject: I use my left eye when photographing, like miss Nikon from Jens's link does. Someone once told me to use my right eye, because that would make it easier to see the world outside the viewfinder. I tried, but it's hard to break habits... Anyone care to comment? What eye do you use, and is one better than the other?
