[QUOTE="hark, post: 625818, member: 13196"] Then it is similar to the foot on my VRii. I use my 70-200mm f/2.8 tripod mounted at church with high ISO and slow shutter speeds. I have a Think Tank holster to carry it in, but the lens won't fit with the foot attached. One day I accidentally left the foot at home so I screwed the tripod head plate directly into that socket. It worked but was [I][B]very[/B][/I] wobbly making me believe it might be easy to break the collar. I just bought a different Think Tank holster for my 300mm lens which will allow my 70-200mm to fit with the tripod foot attached--I will use that holster so it never happens again. It worked in a pinch but I don't ever want that to happen again. ;) My suggestion is to keep watch for a foot. They are expensive for such a small piece of hardware, but IMHO these lenses are too expensive to take any chances. Congrats on the lens. :encouragement: [/QUOTE]
