Perhaps you shoot a horizontal composition then feel like taking a similar photo in a
vertical frammg. With a regular tripod, the subject position through the vtewfinder
inevitably shihs and the photographer has to refocus from the start. With a tripod mounl
ring, however, you can maintain the position
of
the subject in the viewfinder- for an
easy, instant frame change to a vertical, horizontal, or even an angled composition.

Tripods ore normally attached directly to the camera body. Lenses equipped with a tripod mount ring however,
allow the tripod to be attached to the lens rather than the camera body. Accordrngly, the camera rotates with the
lens ot the axis, and after the macro lens is attached, the hont/back weight distnbution is improved. The result s
steady, blur-free photography.
