Sigma 10mm entrance pupil location

Has anyone determined the sweet spot for the Sigma 10mm (not the 10-20mm, but the prime 10mm)??

93mm at the upperarm of the NN3 or NN5 works for me.

A useful starting point, but the position does depend on the camera as well as the lens. It only takes a few minutes to set up the head accurately.
