Is this tripod collar compatible and will work properly on a Niikkor f/4.5, 300mm, AIs lens? Thanks.

Thanks. I've watched e-bay and looked on other sites for one with no joy. I have a like new 300mm - f/4.5 - AIs lens in the original box that I would like to put to use but really need the tripod collar. You wouldn't have one that you would be willing to part with do you? I know Kirk and RRS have them but it is pretty expensive. Thanks

I have never seen one that was not on a lens.

From NIKON site:
"The RT-1 is an optional accessory tripod collar ring designed specifically for the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR and AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR lenses. When shooting with a D-SLR and the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/4G ED VR or AF-S NIKKOR 300mm f/4E PF ED VR lenses, the RT-1 can be used to attach the lens to a tripod instead of attaching the camera's body directly to the tripod. Attaching the lens to the tripod instead of the D-SLR body can be done when additional support is desired, such as when shooting with a teleconverter."

You can use a neoprene strip on the inside of the lens collar to take up the slack if you use the RT-1 with the 300 F4.5 AI-S.

You may want to look at this thread:

BTW, the orignal collar on the 300 F4.5 was pretty bad.
