I have had two 4x5 cameras in my "career" the first was an Omega Toyo E
monorail it had build on levels which I used all the time initially. The
second camera my Gandolfi does not. I carry a separate level on my key
key now if I require it. One note I worked for approx 3 years as a Land
surveyor setting up leveled instruments every day several times a day.
and laid out buildings, walls and all kinds of roads and sidewalks.
I think that help my sense of plumb and level vastly
I shoot a fair amount of Interior architecture but I don't use the
level much anymore. On occasion though to check myself I do use the
level if the lines of the subject seem wacked on the GG. So the answer
"mine at least" is a level is good to check with or if your starting
out in LF. It is a good idea for architecture work.

is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
