Like to have tripod collar for my Canon EF 100mm f2.8 L macro lens. The original from Canon cost a fortune. Any aftermarket brands available?

And the one I played with was way below acceptable quality. IMO you should really save up and buy the Canon one. You didnt go cheap on the macro lens you purchased, why go cheap on an accessory that needs to stably and securely hold it and your camera body? [Gear List | Flickr
