Does anyone have a recommendation for an easy to level tripod head, preferably in both landscape or portrait orientation? I've found levelling the camera when using my 28mm shift lens a bit of a pain, especially as not all my cameras have a level hotshoe, the KM (35mm version) certainly doesn't.

Thanks Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I have a Manfrotto 804RC2 and it has degree markers on it to ensure your head is level. Providing the legs are leveled with the bubble. No too expensive either.
