I have just purchased the above lens. It appears to have no tripod mount. Has someone lost it in this example?
Can't really work out the differences between the three generations. Can someone enlighten me further.....

If it's this one, originally it would have come with a tripod foot/collar. You might be able to find one used--or possibly one by a third party. Not all third party ones fit as well so read reviews if you go that route.

Hi I would guess:
1st gen is push pull for zoom
2nd gen has two rings one focus, one zoom 2.8D
3rd gen is the S series with the "silent wave motor
I believe they all have tripod mounts
Hope this helps a little
