Tripod Mount for Zeiss sonnar 180/2.8

Does anyone know if its possible to buy a tripod mount for this lens.

In answer to my own question and for the benefit of other users, a UK company called SRB Film Service (www.srbfilm.co.uk) make tripod collars.

I'm just a bit curious about where on the lens the collar goes. There doesn't seem to be any wide area other than the focus ring. I like the idea. Do you have a picture of the combination?

Good point about the location of the collar. I am not yet in possession of the lens (one is winging its way from the USA) but I had read reviews of the lens saying that a collar "is required for critical work" due to the size of the lens. However, having looked at a picture of the lens it doesn't seem that obvious where the collar should go. doh!!!
