Thanks, Mike. I think I’ll go with my initial, easily-implemented approach of 
moving the camera, until I have reason to think moving the rear standard would 
be significantly better.

Aw man, “mount surgery” sounds like half the fun!

Anyway, I’ve already surgerized a Nikon PB-4 so I could put it right on the

Thanks much for those links! Beautiful, and worth repeating:
