As a left-eyed shooter I also find that all of my photos are slanted 
slightly.  Thank goodness for the Ruler Tool in Photoshop that can 
level any horizon!  I find that I need to use it on many photos.  I 
do have a grid viewfinder but usually forget to look at it in the 
excitement of taking photos. ;-)
