Q: 1. I am looking for a tripod collar for a Nikkor 300mm f.4.5 AIS, the barrel I.D. is 60mm and the band with is 25mm and it will have a 1.4-20 mounting hole.

A: Unfortunately we do not carry any tripod collars that are specifically designed for your Nikon 300mm f4.5 AIS lens. The collars we do carry are all proprietary for other lenses. We do carry a product from Manfrotto which you could consider which is basically a solution for large lenses that should have a tripod collar. It can be made to fit many different lenses.

Q: 2. Will this work on a canon EF 100-400 with an existing collar and plate? The plate has one screw.

A: The Acratech Quick Release Plate for Telephoto Lenses (5") would be too long for use with the Canon 100-400mm lenses. As an alternative, if you own the original push/pull Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens, the Acratech Quick Release Plate for Telephoto Lenses (2.5"), B&H # ACQRLP2.5, would be the correct lens plate for your usage needs. If you own the new twist-zoom Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens, then the Acratech 3.5" Lens Plate for Canon, B&H # ACLPC3.5, would be the correct lens plate for your usage needs.

Q: 8. I just purchased the Tamron SP 150-600 from you and now find that the lens foot is not compatible with my tripod ball head. I am interested in this or similar (6 ) as I will possibly be purchasing a gimbal head later which would require the longer plate. My question though is this plate shows two screws but my lens foot only has one. Does this mean that I must order a shorter plate to get one with one screw or is the second screw removable and not needed? Thanks for your help.Paul Sorrells

A: The screws do come out of the quick release plate. Six inches is a bit too long for that lens and this one would be a better choice for an Arca-Swiss style quick release plate for that lens,Wimberley P30 Quick Release PlateB&H # WIQRPP30 Mfr # P-30http://bhpho.to/VwdNk1
