Lot's of good answers. You could also go for lenses with more coverage. With the 110mm SS-XL and my Toho, I've never seen lens vignetting. I have pushed the rise so far as to induce bellows vignetting however...

I dislike cutout corners since I like to see what is in the corners. So, I just take the back off and check for vignetting. Cheers, DJ
For horizontal- raise the lens 1.5 inches and shoot a picture with detail in the corners. for vertical- raise the lens 2 inches and shoot a picture with detail in the upper corners. after processing, you will be able to see when darkening occures AND when acceptable definition is lost. If you lost the top 1/2 inch , subtract that from the amount of rise you used. Record that on a sticky label on the lens board. If you are cropping or working in close up, you may be more generous, If you are tilting down, this costs coverage. You have more rise in horizontal format than vertical unless you are using square format.
Invest in a lens with good coverage, they are worth every penny.
