Product Information

Full details

The Kase 55-77mm Magnetic Circular Step Up Ring is an essential tool for photographers who use the Kase Circular Magnetic filter system and want to bridge the gap between lenses with a 55mm filter thread and 77mm magnetic filters. It is designed for those seeking a streamlined, efficient workflow by replacing the need for separate adapters and traditional step-up rings. While it significantly reduces setup time and potential vignetting when stacking filters, users should note that it is exclusively compatible with the Kase Magnetic system and cannot be used with standard threaded screw-on filters.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this with non-magnetic filters?

No, this ring is specifically designed for the Kase Magnetic Circular filter system and will not hold standard screw-on filters.

Will this cause vignetting on my 16mm lens?

The slim design significantly reduces vignetting compared to traditional stacking methods, but performance can vary depending on the specific lens design.

Can I attach a lens cap to this ring?

Kase magnetic filters typically allow for the magnetic lens cap to be placed directly on the outermost filter in your stack.

Is this made of plastic or metal?

The Kase magnetic rings are constructed from durable, lightweight metal to provide a secure magnetic mount for your glass filters.

Does this replace the need for an adapter?

Yes, this step-up ring serves as the primary magnetic interface, replacing the need for a separate adapter ring.

Troubleshooting

Filter feels loose or does not snap on securely

Check the magnetic ring for dust or metallic debris that might be preventing a flush connection, and clean both the ring and the filter back with a microfiber cloth.

The ring is stuck on the lens thread

Use a specialized rubberized lens filter wrench to gain a better grip on the ring, ensuring you do not apply uneven pressure that could warp the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for multiple adapter layers
  • Reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses
  • Enables rapid magnetic filter swapping
  • Lightweight and compact profile

Cons

  • Only compatible with the Kase Magnetic Circular system
  • Not intended for standard screw-on filters
  • Requires existing 77mm magnetic filters

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the ring, simply screw the 55mm threaded side directly onto your camera lens. Once attached, your Kase magnetic 77mm filters will snap onto the front surface of the ring automatically. Ensure that the filter glass is clean before snapping it into place to prevent trapping dust between the lens and the filter. When storing, remove the ring from the lens to avoid putting unnecessary stress on the camera lens barrel during transport. Always clean the magnetic surface with a microfiber cloth to maintain the strength of the magnetic attraction and prevent debris from interfering with the seal.
