"As we all know one of the minor bad points of this lens, compared to the F* version, is it's lack of tripod mounting collar ."
Dave, from time to time here there have been discussions about adding an after-sale tripod ring to this lens. I believe there are generic ones available, and they should be adjustable to fit a number of lenses. I would check B&H's web site.
