Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with the tripod mount ring for a 70-200 f4L lens.  

I know that the correct one is Tripod Mount Ring A (Canon Catalog #2889A002).  It fits 
the 70-200mm f/4L, 300mm f/4L & 400mm f/5.6L lenses.  It's white in colour like those 
lenses.

There is also the Tripod Mount Ring A (Canon Catalog #2888A002).  It's for the 200mm 
f/2.8L prime and is black in colour (like that lens).

My question is: are these two tripod mount interchangeable?

The reason I want to know is that B&H list the black version at $78.95 and the white 
one at $113.95!  If they're the same apart from colour, I have no problem with saving 
some money and using the black mount on my white lens - after all the lens already has 
two black coloured rubber focusing/zoom rings, so I don't think a black tripod mount 
would look *too* out of place anyway.

Has anyone looked at this at all?  From what I can see they LOOK the same, but I can't 
be sure.  Any help will be much appreciated... as will the savings...

Regards
Gary
