Overview

The B+W 65-069439 Step-Down Ring provides a simple, reliable way to mount 62mm-threaded filters onto lenses with a 67mm filter thread. Manufactured from high-quality aluminum, the ring offers precise machining that ensures smooth threading and a secure fit without the risk of cross-threading or seizing. The engraved size markings on the outer edge make it easy to identify the ring at a glance, even when it is already mounted on a lens—a practical detail when working with multiple adapter rings in a kit.

This adapter uses the standard 0.75mm thread pitch that is universal across photographic filters in these sizes, ensuring broad compatibility with filters from any manufacturer. It is an economical solution for photographers who already own a set of 62mm filters and want to use them on a 67mm-thread lens without purchasing duplicate filters in the larger size. However, because the ring adapts to a smaller diameter, users should be aware that vignetting may occur at wider focal lengths where the smaller filter diameter encroaches on the lens's field of view.

Frequently Asked Questions

It allows you to attach a filter with a smaller thread size (62mm) to a lens with a larger filter thread (67mm). This lets you use existing 62mm filters on your 67mm lens without buying new ones.
Because a step-down ring mounts a smaller filter onto a larger lens, there is a risk of vignetting—especially at wider focal lengths—since the smaller filter can intrude into the lens's field of view.
The ring sizes are engraved on the side, so you can read them even when the ring is attached to your lens.
It uses the standard 0.75mm thread pitch, which is the universal standard for photographic filters and adapter rings in these sizes.
