Yes
...after using a long lens (my 100-400 for example) you end up with one eye still seeing at the longer focal length and the other eye at a normal distance. You end up with a similar sensation after a few brandy's. Anyone?

I was at the optitians earlier trying to explain this and she just looked at me like someone had maybe left the gas on or I was on glue.

Oh and yes, I have been given stronger lenses! :cool:
 
I'm guessing its not a clear cut telephoto eye sensation (a superpower we all wish we had :D), with my minute knowledge of science and the human body - this is a side effect of the part of the brain that allows us to see 24 images/second TV as a moving, fluid picture.
 
I mostly close my left eye when taking photos to avoid this effect.
 
I suffer from a similar effect and assumed my camera viewing eye was slow to focus back to normal, it happens if I have non viewing eye shut or not.

I have similar problems when attending eye tests at the opticians, when looking through their optical gadgetry my r/h eye is slow to focus on the various eye chart symbols as they displayed

This effect means my r/h eye is always trying to catchup with the next array of eye charts. This has ended up with me having several sets of glasses that are no good.

Finally met a very good optician who realized my problem and took extra time on my eye test. He said it was a common complaint in people of my learned age(57).

After 10 minutes or even less looking through my camera viewer it sometimes take several minutes to get my sight equalized afterward.

I think the only cure is alcohol as this makes both eyes equally slow to focus.:lol:

Opticians are not always right and if in doubt ask them to redo your test, or try elsewhere if they get frumpy.
 
I close my left eye to avoid this problem, but because my right eye is the "main" eye it tends not to be a problem :)
 
well thats a good one ...the other thread says leave both eyes open...i get that as well with my tiny viewing port..
the solution for me is to look at the ground for a bit
 
I need both eyes open. Not all the time, but once I have my camera ready, I need the other open to be able to see the cars coming!
