[QUOTE="Dimson, post: 226516, member: 18281"] I own this lens for only 3 days and faced the same dilemma. however, after mounting the setup on a tripod, with a ballhead, i have a feeling that the collar will not be needed. the lens is incredibly light and balances well on my D800. The only reason i would consider the collar is if you want the ability to quickly switch from landscape to portrait mode, without the need of taking the camera off the tripod. I use an L plate, so the switch is fairly quick and easy, and for now it looks like i will be skipping on the collar any decent tripod head should be able to handle the stress. I tightened everything, took a shot, then left the setup unattended for 30 minutes and took another shot. the composition haven't changed the slightest bit, so i feel confident. You might want to do the same before throwing money on something you don't need [/QUOTE]
