That tripod ring is extremely good with the Tamron lens. I bought it based on my findings that it works with Pentax FA* 300mm f/4.5 and I hope it works with my F* 300mm f/4.5. It doesn&#39;t work on my F* 300mm as it is a bit bigger than the len barrel. With the Tamron, it is a bit tight but still manage to close down for a tight fit. The tripod actually help me to stabilize my use with the heavy lens in a strange way. I will recommend that tripod to others but the size may not fit to all lenses mentioned.Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-46314698528083826882009-12-11T14:23:46.456-08:002009-12-11T14:23:46.456-08:00Nice to know that the (cheap) Canon 3rd party tripod ring fit the Tamron. I think it&#39;s the one for the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L. Is their quality acceptable for sporadic, non professional use or just a waste of money?Ripafrattahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04165831826211883254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-78842533850732316212009-10-04T09:01:13.200-07:002009-10-04T09:01:13.200-07:00@Somanna, I was wrong about its size. The lens is much bigger than the DA* 50-135mm when I put them next to each other. What was I thinking?Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-32293797969820437852009-10-02T19:14:58.785-07:002009-10-02T19:14:58.785-07:00@Javier, much thanks for the visit and comment. I am nuts about the new toy. I wish I have your muscular arms and I am all set for the heavier setup<br /><br />@Somanna, though the lens is heavy, it is not too big. It is roughly the size of the DA* 50-135mm with bigger filter size in 77mm. But it is much heavier than the DA* zoom. I will hopefully post a comparison picture later.Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-24445320134336343862009-10-02T07:07:16.898-07:002009-10-02T07:07:16.898-07:00Could you post a photo of the lens attached to the camera? I would like to see a reference to the size. Also, what is an adaptall??<br />That bokeh in that first shot is creamy... oh my...Somannahttp://www.flickr.com/photos/shalootnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-40345598781723425572009-10-01T20:33:49.212-07:002009-10-01T20:33:49.212-07:00Hin, Everything I have ever read on this lens is positive. I look forward to reading more of your findings.street_visionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08009352969931058248noreply@blogger.com
