FAQs
Can I use this adaptor with other brands of filters?
No, this adaptor is specifically designed to work with the Kase K9 Magnetic CPL filter and Kase K9 holder due to its magnetic locking system and geared design.
What is the primary advantage of the geared mechanism?
The geared mechanism allows for very precise and fine adjustments to the rotation of the Circular Polarizer filter, which is beneficial for controlling reflections and enhancing colors in photography.
How do I clean the magnetic components?
Wipe the magnetic surfaces gently with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using any liquids or solvents, as they can interfere with the magnetism or damage the components.
What happens if I lose or damage this adaptor ring?
This product is sold as a spare or replacement part. You can purchase a new one to continue using your Kase K9 Magnetic filter system.
Can I stack filters with this adaptor?
This adaptor is designed for a single Kase K9 Magnetic CPL filter. It is not designed for stacking multiple filters directly onto it.
What is the maximum lens diameter this adaptor supports?
The adaptor supports lenses with filter thread diameters ranging from 77mm up to 90mm.
Troubleshooting
Adaptor ring does not screw onto the lens.
Verify that your lens thread size falls within the 77mm-90mm range. Ensure there are no obstructions or cross-threading on the lens or the adaptor.
Kase K9 Magnetic CPL filter does not attach securely.
Confirm you are using the correct Kase K9 Magnetic CPL filter and holder. Check the magnetic surfaces on both the filter and the adaptor for any debris or damage that might impede the magnetic connection.
Geared mechanism feels stiff or does not turn smoothly.
Gently clean the gear teeth with a soft brush or dry cloth. Avoid applying lubricants, as they may attract dust. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Adaptor ring appears loose on the lens.
Ensure the adaptor is screwed on fully and tightly. If the lens thread is worn, the adaptor may not achieve a perfectly snug fit, but it should still hold securely if properly threaded.
