Hi, well, with an SLR viewfinder attached permanently to my left eye all I can see is the scene bounded by the black frame so I'm concentrating exclusively on what's in the frame itself and sometimes feel very involved in it. But with a Leica viewfinder only occasionally attached to my right eye my attention is wandering around outside the framed scene and I am therefore less concentrated on, and hence detached from, the framed scene.
