If you drop the offset too low, you risk not being able to calibrate your images properly, since you're clipping the bias off the left hand edge of the histogram.

I saw some discussion over there about the new cameras and them having fixed offset (of 50), so this is likely a moot point in the near future.
yes, I saw that too with the 1600 pro having it set to 50, with minimal impact on the image. I came to my own conclusion after having a read of http://www.stark-labs.com/help/blog/...nAndOffset.php. Of course, I may have misunderstood things wrong, or miscalculated them too. As I said, i'm a noob!
