Another alternative to bubble levels is to get Olympus screen #1-10, the one 
for architectural usage.  It contains etched vertical & horizontal lines to 
handle both vertical and horizontal compositions.
Unfortunately, Olympus never got around to making a #2-10 screen - which is 
the one I really, REALLY! wanted all along - a #2-10 with a spot metering 
circle would have covered virtually all of my compositional needs.  However. 
I can't complain too much; I have a number of #1-10 screens and two bubble 
levels on my latest tripod. ;-)
