My mount ring slips

[kelack]

only slightly on my 70-200, wish I'd never taken it off now. Has this happened to anyone else? Can anyone suggest what to do.

TIA

do you mean the tripod mounting collar?

Have you tightened it fully?
It does allow you to spin the lens when on a tripod when loosened.

Yep - should tighten up no problems.

tripod mounting collar?
think so, I thought it was called a mount ring, my mistake :D

It's a tight as it goes though :(

Mine has a rubber "liner" on the inside IIRC that helps it grip to the lens. Might be worth checking yours to see that is still in place. Also I seem to remember that they have to be located in the correct place to do up properly - again, probably stating the obvious but might be worth a check.

Thanks Robyn, I shall have a look when I get home from work

ROFL...So many Double Entendres for me in this thread.
Too much "rings" "mounting" "rubber" "tightening" for me to keep a straight face.
