I'd just like to chip in (if it isn't to late) that its totally fine to trust your lens to a non-canon mount ring.


When I got my 70-200 I had barely enough money to get any D-Ring, let alone Canon's, so I went with a "cheapie" on ebay for $30.


Sure, with Canon you get name, quality, and consistency, I always kept telling myself that I would upgrade to the brand-name bracket once I got some more cash.





3 years later and some hundred thousand shots later I still haven't gotten around to it.





If you can find one for cheap (I mean less than $100 cheap) I'd spring for it, but as long as your not a perfectionist, you'll be surprised what the offbrand can do.


Just my 2c
