Today I finally got the much needed tripod collar for the super tele lens, it has been on back order from the distributor for over a month, and it is a damn expensive little piece of metal. A quick estimate would give a price per kilogram of approximately 9,000 Swedish kronor (SEK), that's more than 900 USD. In fact it's more than half the price of gold.
Anyone thinking camera peripherals are cheap may want to reconsider. Lenses aren't all that cheap either, mind you. For instance, the 500 millimeter G-lens for Alpha A-mount (which is what the camera I use have) would set you back a whopping 146,000 SEK or 15,000 USD.
But, what to do when you need the stuff?
