Those who use field or view cameras without built-in levels may be interested in a tool I found at Reid Tool Supply Co. (800 438 1145). It's like a little machi nist's square. One leg is 3" long, the other, 2". It's 1/2" thick, with a very n ice matte finish. Each leg contains an accurate bubble level visible from the si de face of the tool. In addition, the shorter leg has a second bubble level visi ble on the end edge of the tool. It's made by Starrett, their #134. Reid's catal ogue number is STR-26040. Cost $31.97, shipped. Aligning lens and film planes to each other in all three axes is quick and easy, as is making sure the film plane is level and plumb. fwiw, njb
