The adapter ring (which is not a complete circle. I.e. it has a "C" shaped cross section) has three small lugs on the inside circumference. These locate with three detents on the 100mm Macro. The four lugs that locate and retain the tripod ring are moulded into the outer circumference. > > After your reassuring words, I think I will run the risk.

Does this ring fit any other EOS device? E.g. MP-E 65mm macro Sorry, don't know.
