Hello again!
I have a Canon XSi and have a few questions.
My first post directed me to the FAQ page and I did some searching but cant find a definitive answer, or at least one I completely understand.
I have purchased an EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and I am planning on purchasing a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens this weekend.
It is my understanding that I dont actually need a Canon Tripod Mount Ring B for the EF 100mm f/2.8, but that it wouldnt hurt to have.
My question is do I need a Canon Tripod Mount Ring for the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6, and is one made for it?
All I can find is the Canon Tripod Mount Ring A II For 70-200mm f/4L Lens.
Will this work or am I just not understanding what to look for. I am assuming the 300mm lens is a different diameter than the 200mm, but I dont really know, or if it even has a not rotating portion on which to clamp the ring.
I have no idea of what constitutes heavy in a lens, so I may not even need a ring mount at all, but better safe than sorry.
Reading the FAQs has indicated that a heavy lens stresses the mount on the camera body unless a mounting ring is used, so a little insurance in the form of a mounting ring is not out of the question.
I will get a price break if I order the lenses and ring(s) at the same time, but no point in getting the mount rings if they are not needed.
Thank You
