has anybody of you found a nice detachable water level solution to
be added
directly on the camera body or a monopod
or tripod? Maybe with some sort of sticky tape?
I saw that I'm not very good holding the camera absolutely
horizontallY with
the 17mm and 24mm and maybe that would help.
Stupid question: why not build such a thing directly into the
camera body
and make it visible in the viewfinder?
Possible solutions are
1) Pick a focusing screen with horizontal and vertical reference lines
2) Use a level in the accessory shoe
3) Fit a level to the tripod head
4) Glue a level to the camera body
I use solutions 1, 2 and 3. When I had SLRs without an
interchangeable focusing screen, I had a custom focusing screen made
and fitted to give me the reference grid.
As to why no one has built a level into the viewfinder, well, someone
did: Hasselblad's SWC cameras have had a bubble level incorporated
into the viewfinder since 1959.
