Bubble/Spirit Level for Leica M8

[portocar]

I'm looking for a Bubble/Spirit Level to use with the Leica M8. I could really use everyone's input in making this descision. Thanks in advance.

There is the Voigtlander spirit level available here:

It fits in the accessory shoe, is easy to use and quite accurate.

Cheers,

several from B&H. Ive used the arca, and found it quite nice... especially for w/a landscapes.

Many companies sell an OEM brand called Hama. They are excellent. Here is a link to one sold directly:

I never thought to look at B&H for a level. I just went to my local Ace Hardware and picked up a $3.00 plastic line level (2 pack) and plopped it in my bag.

i bought one and never use.
they only really work if the camera is on a tripod or some such platform.
it's impossible to handhold the camera, look thru the finder and check the bubble all at once.

I use the CV level a lot. When using an external finder I am able to see the level quite easily allowing hand holding the camera. It is not possible to use the level when shooting in the vertical format. That is when I use one of the plastic shoe mount spirit levels and a tripod or, with a slight increase in difficulty level, a monopod.
