I've recently acquired a P67 body and a couple of lenses (75mm f4 and 105mm) and am so far pleased with the system. However, my main subject is architecture and I like to use a spirit level (hotshoe mounted on my 35mm kit, integral with my 5x4" camera) to ensure that the camera's level. Problem with the P67 - where to put the level? I have had a grid viewfinder installed by Pentax and it helps but with the camera vertical using a waist-level finder I would prefer a level.

Why not use the spirit level on a tripod head? I like my Bogen 3036 with the 3-way (3048?) head. I use the set of levels all the time (one general bubble level and two different axis levels).

I bought the wood handle grip and use a Hama double bubble level in the shoe mount. Costs about $125 total, and works great (both horizontally and vertically).
