from what I can see it is approximately 85mm in diameter so quite a few of the chinese knocks for canon won't work because they have an inner diameter of 81mm
could I cheat and use an 81mm ring. get a longer screw and then line it with felt for a firm grip?
anyone done this?

actually, can anyone with calipers assist with this.
on the Sigma, could you measure where the mount ring actually goes?
AND
measure the bit behind it, where the top clear plastic fnumber range opening is, that's thinner, maybe 81mm? which would be ideal. line with felt and it's bob on

there's nothing wrong with mine but it does stick out a bit and is a pain to fit in a bag I have. If I could get a collar with a shorter neck out of the bottom tripod mount that would be jake.
