Typical Canon crap...$123 L rings, $150 tripod collars, $100 wired remotes, etc...
They make some awesome products for a great price, but some of this stuff makes my head spin...

I just hope this doesn't happen to my soon-to-be 24-105L. Just for that, I'm going to paint the red ring black before I ship it out Feedback 1

I think just dropping paint into it won't nearly show like the ring did. Canon 5DmkII / Canon 5D / LifePixel IR 350D / L-glass

I wasn't too happy to find that out

LOLOLOLOL... if the red ring does not affect the IQ.. why is it important ?? did you buy the lens because it has a red ring around it.. or did you buy it for it's IQ and versatility ??  I did have a laugh at your post when I noticed your signature says "Step away from the red ring son"
