I always thought it was red paint. Who knew there was an actual ring?

I'd better look more closely at my lenses. No telling what I'll discover.

Bob from Boston,

Doesn't really matter but red paint will put it back.

Also he might try red pin stripping tape.  Actually it works on any lens.  It will even turn your "kit" lens into a Canon "L" lens.

Will gold pin striping tape turn it into a Nikon lens?

[ebiggs1]

Yup !

Is the lens a Cannon?  If it can slip back on in place I'm sure a dab or two of superglue would suffice.

Thank for the response , it is a canon 24-105 4.0 L lens. I have to track down some super glue and try it.

Almost 10 years to the day! The red ring just came off of my 24-105 f4. Do you remember what you ended up doing?
