Product Information

Full details

This guide is for photographers seeking to expand their creative options by using larger filters on smaller lenses. The Urth Step-Up Ring Adapter, specifically the 58-67mm model, offers a durable and precise solution for mounting 67mm filters onto lenses with a 58mm thread. While it significantly enhances compatibility, users should be aware that step-up rings can sometimes contribute to vignetting on wider focal lengths.

FAQs

What is a step-up ring used for?

A step-up ring allows you to mount a larger diameter filter onto a camera lens with a smaller diameter filter thread. This saves you from buying multiple sizes of the same filter.

Can I use this 58-67mm ring on any lens?

This adapter is specifically designed for lenses with a 58mm front filter thread. You can then attach any filter with a 67mm thread to it.

Will this adapter cause image quality issues?

The matte black anodised finish is designed to minimise reflections. However, like all adapters, it adds an extra surface that could potentially degrade image quality in extreme lighting conditions. Vignetting can also occur on wider lenses.

How durable is the aluminium construction?

The adapter is made from aerospace-grade 6061 aluminium, which is known for its strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion and rust, making it very durable for outdoor use.

Is it possible to cross-thread the adapter or filter?

Precision machining and knurled edges help ensure a smooth and secure connection. However, always ensure the adapter and filter are aligned straight before screwing them on to prevent cross-threading.

What is the warranty on this product?

Urth products, including this step-up ring, are backed by a lifetime quality guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Adapter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Ensure you are using the correct adapter for your lens thread size. Check the lens and adapter threads for any debris or damage. Attempt to screw it on slowly and gently, ensuring it is straight to avoid cross-threading.

Filter won't screw onto the adapter.

Verify that you are using the correct side of the adapter (the larger thread size). Check the filter threads and adapter threads for damage or debris. Ensure the filter is compatible with the 67mm thread size.

Vignetting (dark corners) observed in photos.

This is often due to using a step-up ring with very wide-angle lenses. Try using a wider focal length or a lens with a larger native filter thread if possible. For this specific 58-67mm ring, expect potential vignetting on lenses wider than approximately 24mm (on a full-frame sensor).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends filter compatibility across different lens sizes.
  • Durable and lightweight aluminium construction.
  • Minimises unwanted reflections for cleaner images.
  • Designed for secure and easy attachment/detachment.
  • Reduces the need to buy multiple sets of filters.

Cons

  • May cause vignetting on wider-angle lenses.
  • Adds an extra element that could potentially reduce light transmission slightly.
  • Requires careful alignment to avoid cross-threading.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the filter thread size of your camera lens (e.g., 58mm).
  2. Confirm the desired filter size you wish to use (e.g., 67mm).
  3. Carefully screw the Urth Step-Up Ring Adapter onto the lens thread. Ensure it threads on smoothly. Do not force it.
  4. Screw your larger filter onto the outer thread of the step-up ring.

Compatibility:

This specific adapter is designed to connect a 67mm threaded filter to a lens with a 58mm threaded front.

Care:

  • Clean the adapter and lens threads periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the anodised finish.
  • Store the adapter in a protective case or pouch when not in use to prevent dust and scratches.
