Fotodiox Metal Step Up Ring, Anodized Black Metal 27mm-37mm, 27-37 mm

I hired the PL100-400mm for an airshow, though needed an ND filter to fit it. Since I intend to eventually buy the lens, I bought the filter, but didn't want it to go to waste. So I picked up this step-up ring so that I could still utilise it with the shooter PL50-200mm.It is well manufactured, and fits the filter thread of the 50-200 very well. One thing to note is that you cannot fit the lens hood when using this, as it is wider than the hood. Something to bear in mind.

I needed this for my Fujinon 27mm f/2.8 which takes a 39mm filter.However the (male) threaded portion is so short that it only begins to engage with the thread on the lens and I cannot attach the step up ring securely. On this lens, this ring is useless.

I bought this so that I could use my 77mm 10-stop filters on my sony nex when I don't feel like carrying around a nikon d700 with a 24-70 lens. I have a 52-77mm step down (or is it step-up?) adapter which my filters go on, and then I attach those to this 49-55mm adaptor and screw that on to my NEX.It's fairly high quality as far as I can tell. Screws in nice and tight and I wouldn't be worried about breaking the threads or anything like that. I just leave it permanently attached to the lense now and use a 55mm lense cap instead of the normal one.

Stupidly I left it a couple of months before testing the Fotodiox step up ring. It attaches ok at the back but the filter I was using would only slightly screw onto the front, despite this the filter is now stuck and won't come off. So I can't give this item a positive review.

Having purchased a Panasonic Lumix FZ100 Camera I found I needed a wider angle Lens for Survey work, the ones advertised for the 52mm thread of the Camera produced a high Vinyetteng at the corners,so by using a 58mm W/A & the 52-58mm step ring this was almost eliminated. Delivery was as always with Amazon brilliant & at a price no one else could match.Well done again Amazon.

it does the job

it s ok

Ordered this 6 days ago from the US and it arrived today,Excellent quality item and i much preferthe metal version as the plastic one i got with my Raynox lens seemed flimsy..This metal ring connects my Raynox 2025 pro telephoto lens to my Fuji HS20 perfectly.
