I can subscribe to what you say about the grip when shooting vertical.
I, too, am left-eye dominant, but have ended up using my right eye
when shooting vertical. :-(
Wrt: stress of hand, I find the K10D to be several orders of magnitude
better than the *istD. But the neck strap is still a good
Some may recall me whining about all my K10D images being rotated by
1-1.5 degrees CW some time ago, well I have just tested it a bit more
thoroughly. It appears that the sensor is very well aligned, as good
as one pixel over the length of the frame SR on or off, that's good.
However the finder is
Thanks for the update. I suppose I should check mine, although I haven't
noticed an abnormal amount of rotation problems.

Rob,
I carry a pen size bubble level that has confirmed a level camera for
me a few time.
It's straight hexagonal sides allow me to lay it in any location, but
on top of the viewfinder seems to be the flattest.
I often step back to check level and wind up making an adjustment.

Rob,
Since the K10D has a user-replaceable focusing
screen...
And since said screen is held in place by a rather
lightweight frame...
One might just re-install one's focusing screen, and
have it wind up straight. It would take a lot less
than 6-8 weeks to find out!

Hi Ralf,
It's good to hear that your DS problem was easily resolved, given some
of your shots VF misalignment

Someone from one of my other lists wrote me about a similar problem
so I did some testing with my K10D. I found no problems, testing with
alignment visually and with a hotshoe-mounted bubble level (camera
mounted on tripod) or just visually, aligning with the top edge of
the frame or the

Thanks for the report, Rob.
Hmmm...
Currently in the process of developing a pile of raw files, I have
been terribly disappointed about the number of tilted horizons this
year.
I'll certainly check my own camera more closely.

And the amount of rotation I used
One other interesting thing I have found. I normally shoot using my
left eye. This puts my nose into the camera body. I subconsciously
twist my head so that my nose slides over the the right. Now my eye
is comfortably in front of the viewfinder. The interesting problem

Anyone else noticed something like that?
