Pictures spilling (dipping) to the right

The silver and black bodies are in stock. Perhaps remaining inventory and selling less than the newer titanium color. Interesting to see what Leica does next with the T, and if they further integrate it with the SL. I am hoping they put some method of leveling; my horizons are spilling right much too often. This was a big issue for M10 users and Leica heard their outcry.

I, too, have the impression that my pictures are slightly more clockwise than I had taken them.

 

Has anybody else sensed this unwanted rotation?

 

I suppose the fix is simple... Shoot slightly off-horizontal / counter-clockwise, but we shouldn't have to do that, should we?

Maybe consider placing camera on a tripod and check it's perfectly level (using a mini bubble level) before taking an image  sequence of suitable subject matter e.g. a brick wall … and the check results to ascertain if your suspicion is correct.

Have you considered shooting with the grid in the finder. That way, you can align the image with true to the camera horizontal and vertical lines. I did that for years before some cameras came out with the leveling aid a,d I still do it with my T.

Most likely you're holding the camera slightly off kilter. If it's a common issue I'd suggest it may be a result of the 'ergonomics' of the design.

 

Easy to verify its NOT a fault as above.

Thank you all... Your ideas are very useful.
