This isn't a large format question, but I'll take a chance and post it anyway:

I prefer to use a 3-way pan/tilt head for all of my work. Currently, I'm using a Bogen (Manfrotto)--I believe it's a model 3047. The problem is that this head --like all others I've seen--is designed for right-eyed photographers. With the head flipped to the side (to position a 35mm camera for a vertical), the protru ding handle pokes me in the right eye when I look through the viewfinder with my left eye. I've switched the handles so that the shortest one is in the rear (r ather than the longest, which is the normal configuration). This help a little, but not much.

Does anybody have any suggestions?
