This got me curious. . . I just set up a tripod and carefully
levelled the top with a carpenter's level (known good). Then I put a
Shoe 4 onto an OM-2n and checked the level of the flash shoe. Not
very good. Definitely nose down, and a little wonky side to side too.
I suppose people say the same thing about me, though!
