I have been sat here thinking about lensboards and why offset lensboards have their holes drilled towards the bottom of the board rather than towards the top. Maybe I am reading this wrong (I must be as I've never seen an offset board that is offset to the top of the board) but as rise is predominantly used more than fall (architecture, trees etc) would it not be beneficial to have the offset towards the top of the board?

I realise that this would require the amount of offset to be offset when using the lens in the null position and would limit the amount of fall available, but in the last year I can count on one hand the amount of times I have used fall, but have used rise on many more occasions and on a few of those would have prefered a bit more rise to be available.

Thoughts?
