I think, at least in my case, the shorter release button causes me to slightly move the camera when making exposures, and that, coupled with the camera being shorter and not allowing quite the same grip and leverage as a Leica/Conta/LX, etc., contributes to the movement and tilted horizons. I find that when i work very slowly, the horizon isn't a problem, but if shooting a little more quickly, I often get the tilt. The tilt, in my case, is always in the same direction.
YMMV, and probably will. Shel ======== Interesting observation. I think I get some of that with my Canon too. Going to think about it. Thx, Marnie aka Doe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
