Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Lightweight aluminum construction adds virtually no weight to your lens setup
- Allows use of one set of larger 62mm filters across multiple lenses, reducing filter costs
- Stepping up to a larger diameter eliminates the risk of vignetting
- Made in the United States with Tiffen's established optical accessory quality
👎 Cons
- Requires purchasing a separate 62mm lens cap since the original 55mm cap no longer fits
- Only bridges a 7mm gap, so you may need additional rings for lenses with other thread sizes
- Ring must be unscrewed to access the original 55mm thread, which can slow lens cap and filter changes
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this step-up ring do?
The Tiffen 55-62mm step-up ring threads onto a lens with a 55mm filter thread and provides a 62mm thread on the front, allowing you to mount larger 62mm filters on that lens.
Will this step-up ring cause vignetting on my lens?
Because this ring steps up to a larger filter size, it is very unlikely to cause vignetting. Stepping up keeps the filter farther from the optical path, avoiding the corner darkening that can occur with step-down rings.
Can I stack this ring with other filters?
Yes, you can thread a 62mm filter onto the ring and even stack additional 62mm filters on top, though excessive stacking may introduce vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
Can I still use my lens cap with this ring attached?
With the step-up ring installed, your original 55mm lens cap will no longer fit. You will need a 62mm lens cap to cover the front of the ring or any filter attached to it.
