It appears the sensor in my *istDS is tilted by about 1 degree. May not
sound like much but actually is a whole lot with industry and
architecture.
Has anyone else had this problem with a Pentax DSLR?

I haven't seen any evidence of misalignment on either of my D cameras.
What makes you think your sensor is misaligned? I would think that an
accurate test is very difficult to perform in that it requires precise
alignment of a camera and target.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. How would one test for a tilted
sensor?

Level the camera on a tripod and take a test shot that contains
horizontal & vertical lines & check to see if the results are wonky?

While everything is nice and level in the viewfinder the resulting
pictures aren't.

Of course the camera has to be more than leveled. The lens mount has to
be squared off exactly to the target.

Da
Hmmm. Then the misalignment could be either in the sensor or the
viewfinder.

Best to say that the sensor is misaligned with the viewfinder, or
vice versa. Same difference either way.

Reality is the reference. So both could be misaligned with reality, yet
aligned with each other. Or all three can disagree, which is the worst
case because you have to align both the sensor and the viewfinder.

first find out if your viewfinder is tilted. You have to use a
reference. Since the ultimate reference is reality, and you have to be
able to trust your tripod and the relationship of the tripod to the
camera, I would suggest

Well, I went off and followed my own procedure. Here is what I
discovered with my *istD:
* The viewfinder is not aligned with the camera base. It tilts to the
right, so it has a significant negative angle.
* I took the picture, but it was not very useful, since the viewfinder
was already m

An entire degree is an awful lot for subjects like industry or
architecture.

Just upload the new filmware carefully and you'll have the tilt fixed :-).
