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

thanks for your solutions, I will go with number 3 ;-)

It's a good practical one. With an accurately fitted level on the tripod head, you generally don't need one on the camera body. I do fit one to the camera body occasionally, however, to check that the head's level is actually indicating level: I had one that was off by 8 degrees.

How where the photographic results from your last holiday trip?
anything to show yet?

I haven't posted anything yet, been sorting and culling. There's lots of good material: sorting, culling and then working through probably 300-500 keepers out of the body of 3000 is a slow process.

However, I'm concentrating right now on some "friends and family" stuff ... Will have some to post from that pretty soon. :-)
