[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 625756, member: 24285"] There is a rotating collar with a screw hole for a foot, but no foot. I do not think the collar comes off - at least not easily. I have looked on eBay for a foot but never found one cheap enough. Maybe I should go back to the well and see what I can find. I could just screw on a tripod swiss arc plate directly - perhaps with a washer to give it a little gap. But I tend to use this lens hand held. i think it would be OK if I put the camera on the tripod with this lens - but maybe not - and I've never done that. B&H has a RSS LCF-10 Foot for $135 CDN. [ATTACH=CONFIG]258151._xfImport[/ATTACH] I am not sure if I'd also need the RSS replacement LCF-10P Plate Mount to use the RRS foot. There are two other brands (Sunway at $60 and Kirk at $106) Have not really look into this very hard. Any comments from 70-200 users - how often is the foot needed? Is this lens too heavy and long to mount the camera on the tripod? [/QUOTE]
