Product Information
Full details
This LEE Filters Adaptor Ring is for photographers using 52mm threaded lenses who want to attach LEE Filter Holders or Lens Shades. It provides a secure, direct connection, allowing for quick filter system changes. A potential consideration is that standard adapter rings might cause vignetting on very wide-angle lenses, for which wide-angle specific rings are available.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this adaptor ring?
The adaptor ring allows you to securely attach LEE Filter Holders and Lens Shades to lenses with a 52mm filter thread.
How do I know if this adaptor ring will fit my lens?
Check the front of your lens; the filter thread size is usually printed there. This ring is specifically for lenses with a 52mm thread.
Can I use this adaptor ring with any brand of filter holder?
No, this adaptor ring is designed to work specifically with LEE Filters' range of filter holders and lens shades.
What should I do if I see dark corners in my photos?
Dark corners, known as vignetting, can occur if you use this standard adapter ring with very wide-angle lenses. Try a LEE Wide Angle Adapter Ring instead.
How quickly can I attach or detach the filter holder?
The adapter features a quick-release spring-loaded mechanism, allowing for fast attachment and detachment of the filter holder.
What is the adaptor ring made of?
The adaptor ring is constructed from durable aluminum.
Troubleshooting
Adapter ring is difficult to screw onto the lens.
Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly. Do not force the ring; if it resists, remove it and try again. Check the lens threads for any debris.
Filter holder does not attach securely to the adapter ring.
Verify that the adapter ring is fully screwed onto the lens. Ensure the spring-loaded clips on the filter holder are functioning correctly and fully engaging with the adapter.
Vignetting (dark corners) is present in images.
This is likely due to using a standard adapter with a lens that is too wide (typically wider than 35mm). Consider purchasing a LEE Wide Angle Adapter Ring for your lens size.
Pros and Cons

- Provides a solid mounting point for LEE filter systems.
- Quick release mechanism saves time during shoots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the Adaptor Ring, simply screw it onto the front filter thread of your 52mm lens until snug. Ensure it is firmly attached to prevent any movement. Once the ring is on, the LEE Filter Holder or Lens Shade can be clipped onto the adapter via its spring-loaded mechanism.
Compatibility: This adapter is specifically designed for lenses with a 52mm front filter thread. It is intended for use with LEE Filters' range of Filter Holders and Lens Shades. For lenses wider than 35mm, consider LEE's Wide Angle Adapter Rings to prevent vignetting.
Care: Clean the adapter ring with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Store it in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage to the threads.
