Tripod mount ring for Canon 100mm f2.8 macro
After a few days with the 100mm f2.8 macro I have found out that trying to use the lens on a tripod/monpod via the camera makes the lens very unbalanced.
The Canon tripod ring (B) is around £100 but I see that there are Chinese clones for a fraction of this price - has anyone used one and are they ok? |
Roy are the chinese clones on ebay, I was also put off by the canon price.

£14.99 + £9 P&P. |
I've been using this lens for the past few years and never ever found the need for a tripod collar, even with a full set of tubes + my twin lite MR-14EX, macro flash fitted

Thanks Roy that is a good price a lot, lot cheaper then Canons. I have also been looking around for a cheaper lens hood, rather then Canons own which are not cheap. I have put a UV filter on for the moment until I can get a cheap hood.

I may be a bit late on this one, but have you thought of Hama rubber screw in lens hoods. Don |
could not the camera be mounted on the tripod,using the cameras own screw in fixture,ie attaching the tripod mounting plate to the camera as opposed to mounting the lens.
|
Thanks Don, I will have a look at one of those. Great to see you back.
