Product Information
Full details
The Tiffen MCS Step Up Adapter is an essential tool for photographers and videographers using 67mm lenses who want to utilize the convenience of 77mm Magnetic Control System (MCS) filters. This adapter provides a seamless, secure magnetic attachment that drastically speeds up filter swapping in the field, though it requires users to already own or transition to the Tiffen MCS ecosystem for the magnetic components to function.

FAQs
Can I use standard screw-on filters with this adapter?
No, this adapter is designed exclusively for Tiffen MCS magnetic filters. Standard screw-on filters will not attach magnetically.
Does this adapter allow me to stack multiple filters?
Yes, the Tiffen MCS system is designed to allow for magnetic stacking, provided the specific filters support that function.
Will this cause vignetting on my 67mm lens?
While the step-up nature is generally safe, very wide-angle lenses may experience slight vignetting. It is recommended to test on your specific lens focal length.
Is the magnet strong enough for fast-paced action?
The magnetic connection is designed to be highly secure for standard professional use, though it is not intended to hold filters during high-impact activities or extreme vibrations.
Can I attach my original lens cap to this adapter?
You cannot attach a standard clip-on lens cap to the adapter. You should use a Tiffen 77mm MCS magnetic protective lens cap instead.
Troubleshooting
Filter feels loose on the adapter
Ensure the magnetic contact surfaces are clean and free of dirt or grit that may prevent a flush connection.
Adapter is difficult to unscrew from the lens
Use a standard rubber lens filter wrench to gently apply torque to the knurled edges.
Filter falls off during movement
Confirm that the filter being used is part of the Tiffen MCS series and not a standard non-magnetic filter.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly faster filter swaps compared to standard screw-on filters
- Sturdy magnetic connection stays secure during active shooting
- High-quality, durable construction with non-reflective finish
- Easy to install and remove without needing special tools
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the adapter, simply align it with your lens's 67mm filter threads and rotate clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten. Once the adapter is in place, your 77mm MCS filters will snap onto the front face magnetically.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the magnetic face clean; dust or debris can interfere with the strength of the magnetic bond.
- Use a soft microfiber cloth to clean the adapter surfaces.
- If the adapter becomes stuck on the lens, use a dedicated filter wrench to avoid applying excessive torque to your lens glass.
- Store the adapter in a dry, padded case when not in use to prevent dents to the circular frame.
