The tripod mount is bigger, but as you said, the lens is smaller. A big tripod mount doesn't bother me when handholding. Just ignore it and grip the lens. It's also a lot lighter than the 400/t5.6. In any case, what it boils down to is that I don't care if the mount is removable. As long as it's there. Paul On Feb 11, 2007, at 10:24 PM, William Robb wrote:
