>>4205968Whether you're a nazi or not, you have to admit the standard type for a man of any race (save for some exceptionally flat nosed islanders, asians, and africans) is having eyes that are set further back from the bridge of his nose which is further back from the tip of his nose. Therefore, centered viewfinders today are nothing more than an ergonomic blunder meant to cheaply accommodate the left eye dominant without eating into corporate profits. It is objectively more ergonomic to have the viewfinder on the opposite side of the camera as your dominant eye. Right eyed man, left viewfinder. Left eyed man, right viewfinder.
Only women have eyes forward enough and noses small enough to find the SLR hump inoffensive. And men who have feminine or bug-eyed downsy skulls.
Prior to this, it was just a technological limitation because SLRs were tragically the only way to confirm real focus and polarization through the lens, and it was a convenient place to put a metering circuit that accurately accounted for lens T stops (besides OTF metering for auto-exposure). Today, EVFs can be put anywhere on the camera. But if they did a modular EVF I'm sure it would bother the marketing department. Updated EVFs are often a huge selling point and making each EVF compatible with only one camera/generation would alert the thoughtless consumer to exactly how he is being screwed.
