Default Aftermarket Tripod Collar

Hello guys ,

Was wondering , is there any place or anyone that sells a AFTERmarket / 3rd party Tripod collar for the 70-200 F4 L or the 100mm Macro lens ? Cause to be hornest , to pay something like $230 for a tripod collar for the 100mm Macro Lens is a little bit or rather overpriced ... Anyone could help me out pls .

Thanks

I'm looking for this too but I think you are very mistaken about the price. I really don't think it costs SGD230. Way less than a hundred IIRC.

Should be cheaper than the RRP for sure..

But still its rather exp for a piece of metal.

Im sure there is some cheap china imitation out there somewhere..

There are alot of third party canon hoods alr..

I was quoted S$250 (incl GST) 2 months ago by CSC. Then they refer me to Cathay same price quoted

huh.. u really need a tripod collar for 100mm macro? definitely paying $230 for one is not worth the price. almost like half the price of a 100mm macro non-usm (if it's a canon)

yeap , thats why i think its just plain crazy to pay like $100+ for a piece of metal .... And moreover i can make do with a cheaper third party ones as its suppose to serve the same purpose . So might as well look for a third party one IF the third party one is half the price If its just $20 - $30 bucks difference , then might as well get the original ones .
