For that matter, a hardware store bubble level might not be accurate, either. Certainly the cheap plastic torpedo levels aren't particularly likely to be. You can either get a good (expensive) level, build a plumb-bob level (dead accurate; slow and annoying to use), or take the camera some place where they've already got a level surface. (Machinist's table, for example.) The first thing to try, though, is to rotate the camera so it faces NESW and see if the amount the level indicates you're off changes. No change = level surface, deluded camera. Change = likely, the camera is right. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
