That is very interesting and might be my issue as well.  I have never
understood why I have tilted horizons, when everything looks just fine in
the viewfinder. The only explanation I heard was from our family practice
doc who suggested it could be a symptom of a brain tumor, and "I might want
to get that checked out sometime".  Sounds like it is time to get some SLR
focus screens with grid lines (I never had the issue with view cameras and
the big ground glass screens with grids).
