Frequently Asked Questions
What does a step-down ring do?
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.
Will using this step-down ring cause vignetting?
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.
How do I identify the ring size once it is mounted on my lens?
The ring sizes are engraved on the side, so you can read them even when the ring is attached to your lens.
What thread pitch does this step-down ring use?
It uses the standard 0.75mm thread pitch, which is the universal standard for photographic filters and adapter rings in these sizes.
