Replacement tripod collar for Canon 300mm 2.8
Justin Hayworth, Photographer
Des Moines | IA | USA | Posted: 8:26 PM on 09.17.09
->> I'm hoping somebody out here can help me. One of our staff 300's has been missing the tripod collar for as long as anybody can remember and I can't seem to find a part number or any place that sells replacements. It's the first generation IS lens, the one that has the removable collar.

thanks for your help,

Justin

->> I'd call Canon support and order from the parts department. Their prices have been pretty fair in my experience.

->> Just in case anybody else has this same problem that is indeed the correct part # listed above YG9-0618. The number for Canon parts is 732-521-7230. They told me as of today Monday Sept. 21, the part was back ordered but they should have more in stock next week. Price $239.52.

thanks for the help Mark and Andrew.
