400mm DO f/4 lens collar needed...

TBar — Sun, 26 Apr 2015 11:51:16 GMT

Mine broke yesterday. Which one fits this and maybe other lenses? There are no marks or lableas on mine.

Will the 100-400 collar fit the 400 DO, as well? Thanks!

I don't have the 400mm DO but I bet "Really Right Stuff" will have one. And it will be better than the original.

The EF 400mm DO IS tripod ring has 4 cutouts to fit the 4 mounting lugs on the barrel of the lens. It looks quite large and I bet it is unique to the 400mm DO.

I doubt there is a 3rd party version available

Your only options will be to buy a new one from Canon, or else repair the one you have.

Here are the approx internal measurements of the various Canon rings:

Tripod Mount Ring A 65-66mm
Tripod Mount Ring B 78mm
Tripod Mount Ring C 82mm
Tripod Mount Ring D 68-72mm

"A(W) " fits 70-200mm 4.0L , 4.0L IS, 200mm 2.8L, 300mm 4.0L, 400mm 5.6L, 80-200mm 2.8L

"B(W)" fits 70-200mm 2.8L, 2.8L IS, 2.8L IS II, 100-400L, 100mm 2.8 USM Macro, 180mm 3.5 Macro, MP-E 65mm 2.8 Macro

"C (W)" fits 28-300L, 35-350L,

"C (WII)" fits 70-300mm L

"D (B)" fits 100L Macro
