Guys - really in a panic here. I've got on loan from CPS the 800 which I need to use for a crane shoot. But the plate (a longer one) I rented from lens rentals doesn't seem to work. The screw openings on the 800 are two different sizes. Is that normal? Is there a special plate I need for this lens? I've never used it and am stressed so you can wag your fingers at me privately or later, when I've got this sorted. CPS is giving me the 800 number which gets me to NO ONE, and lens rentals is helping, but I think it's the lens foot that is the issue, and I just didn't know to ask for a different plate.
In panic and thanks,
Sharon
EDIT: I've got this sorted, but will leave it here for anyone else who may not realize that the threads are different sizes on these lens feet. I have been told I can get by with the one screw as long as it's very tight. I really am not the type to complain or rant but I really don't understand why Canon will send you a $12,000 lens to try but not just attach a lens plate. Unless that is the idea.... hmmmm... Drop the lens and payola?
And BTW: Kudos to the Lens Rentals folks again. They gave me the info I needed and just so you know if you rent these long lenses from them, they INCLUDE the bushings needed for the second plate screw.
