Is there a brand of good/premium range finder binoculars where the range read-out is in the left eye tube? All of those that I have tried (Leica, Vortex) are in the right eye tube and I struggle with that, my left eye is by far the most dominant.

Ii would also like to know this since my right eye only corrects to 20/40.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

The first version of the Swaro EL Range (now discontinued) - NOT the newer EL Range w/TA, projects the range read-out in the left tube.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Yep the 1st two generations of EL Ranges might work for you, I am the opposite of you and those El Ranges didn't work for me as I struggled to see the yardage read out being strongly right eye dominant.

Thanks for the replies. Are both the square that you focus on the target and the read-out in the left tube of the older EL range?

Yep that's why the new ones in my mind are a nice improvement plus the button location is for us right handers

Doesn't sound to good for me then, I was hoping to find one where the ranging circle & read-out are both in the left tube.

I am also left eye dominant and am considering stepping down from RF binos to just a regular RF. I got the Sig 3000's for the onboard ABU, but the Kilo1600 also has that and would do everything I need.

I'm left eye dominant as well and have not had a problem using the either the EL Range or the EL Range TA. Not sure that eye dominance has anything to do with it. I'd be more inclined to suggest that vision capability has more to do with whether or not you see the aiming circle and the subsequent read-out. Similarly, if one is color blind to red, using either of the Swaro RF binos might present problem. I've use both versions of the Swaro RF binos, using corrective lenses (glasses) and after cataract surgery w/o glasses. I did not feel hindered. YMMV
