7 Step Up Ring Filter Adapter Set, Anodized Aluminum, 49-52mm, 52-55mm, 55-58mm, 58-62mm, 62-67mm, 67-72mm, 72-77mm

I'm an ameature photographer with a D90 and 3 lenses. I decided to take advice I'd read and been given and stop buying various size filters and use step up rings to standardize around 77mm filters. This doesn't seem like a big deal if you are buying $15 filters, but once you start buying $50 filters (or more!) then the thought does occur to you that this could get expensive (hey... if you want a cheap hobby, get out of photography!). I've used these on a 52mm lens and on a 67mm, with filters of varying sizes up to 77mm (my new standard size). My thoughts are that they are reasonably well manufactured rings. Quite light but sturdy. Some people have written about problems with them becoming jammed together. My advice on that is to remember that these rings are just a mount for your filter... they are not holding your car engine in place. Tighten accordingly :-). I've been tightening them just to the point of resistance and have had no problems in 20+ uses. I've also read that the threads are small and hard to use. While I can see how people could become frustrated and damage the threads, if you use a reasonable degree of patience you'll be fine. My technique is to hold them gently together and turn them a little as if I was undoing the thread, then reverse to screw them together... perhaps going back and forth gently a couple of times to "seat" the threads together before I get them together. In any case, at the price of these little babies, you could afford to get a couple of sets and still be way out in front compared to the cost of buying multiple filters. I don't give out a 5 star review very easily but in this case I see no reason to hold back. There are much more expensive German made items on the market that may be more durable and quicker to thread than these, but for a guy with a family and a budget, these rings are great.

I usually don't review products until I've used them for a while, but these rings work like a charm, screw on as smooth as butter and come with the right size for every lens I own. most other kits don't include the 58mm!!! how can you not include the size of the most popular prime lens out there!? I purchased a pretty expensive variable neutral density filter for size 77mm lenses but also want to use it on my 50mm and 60mm lenses, with this kit I'm able to do just that and no need to purchase another pricey filter to use on my smaller lenses. I use these to step-up from 58 to 77 and 62 to 77, with a few rings but it works! only issue with stacking so many rings is at the time of taking them off lol most come off together except the one actually on the lens. that one I take off after, it's not like it gets stuck or its impossible to take off just seems to have a better grip on the lens than amongst the rings. very minor issue inherent of the amount of rings stacked and do not see it as a flaw or defect on this set. I'm very happy with the performance, quality and look of this set.

Having invested in a B+W Graduated 502 neutral density - Filter - graduated - 77 mm as well a Hoya Moose - Filter - warm circular polarizer - 72 mm , I didn't want to buy duplicates in other filter sizes. This isn't an uncommon conundrum, thus step-up rings were created. They can come in all sizes and thicknesses as well as materials, but needing a cheap and comprehensive solution, I sought out a bundle such as this. With that in mind, I ordered the Fotodiox rings, and they arrived the next day. Since I was leaving for a 2 week vacation, I threw them in my bag before giving them a try in a more controlled environment. I primarily used the 72mm - 77mm ring, which allowed my Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens to use the 77mm grad ND filter (a boon with the ever-present Norwegian sun). This combination worked without any issues, but the step-up ring seemed more inclined to want to cross threads than I'm used to. This seemed to not happen as much in subsequent installation. Some vignetting was seen, and when I added the polarizer in a stack, the corners were black until 35mm. This isn't entirely due to the step-up ring, as both filters are somewhat thick, but there definitely are thinner step up rings (for a higher cost). Going from 67mm-72mm-77mm worked, as my 67mm lens is a full frame tele lens ( Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras ), and I can imagine the somewhat thick nature of these step up rings causing an issue on DX wide angle lenses. All told, I'm glad I bought these rings, but if you're looking for the absolute best solution (especially for wide angle lenses), look elsewhere.

I've had these rings for a couple years now and they work great. They can be a bit of a challenge to loosen if they're on too tight, otherwise a good product. I often use mine altogether as a lens shade when they're not required.

L'ho ordinato il 30 di maggio dagli States e ieri, 12 giugno, è arrivato integro e funzionante come da pubblicità. Come sempre, Amazon imbattibile nel suo servizio. Ovviamente prenderò, più avanti, lo step down in quanto permette di risolvere un sacco di problemi con lenti aggiuntive o filtri vari, permettendo di adattarli agli obiettivi che già si hanno.

Bom material - com roscas ok. Vale a pena!

muy muy buenos y a gran precio, me han servido muchisimo, pero son delicados y si se llegan a caer o golpear se puede fregar la rosca y ya no embonan. asi que hay que tener cuidado

Very useful
