Lens Band in place of Tripod Collar 0n 40-150 f2.8
2

Someone else started a thread like this but I couldn't find it. Anyway, I ordered this Lens Band from Amazon. It's designed to prevent lens creep, but was reported to work well in covering the exposed stainless steel studs on the 40-150 PRO after removing the tripod collar. And IMO it works very well for this-- see photos. The band is about 1/2" wide and 1/8" thick. IMO, and for this purpose, it could be about 2% tighter, but as is it an be taken off more easily-- it's tight enough. All photos done w/ EM1 and 12-40 w/ small flash.
