Product Information

Full details

The Kase 62-72mm Magnetic Circular Step Up Ring is for photographers using smaller lenses with 58mm filter threads who want to utilize Kase's 72mm magnetic circular filter system. Its key benefit is simplifying the filter attachment process, removing the need for a separate magnetic adapter and a traditional step-up ring, while also minimizing vignetting when stacking filters. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for the 72mm circular magnetic system, requiring compatibility with that particular filter size.

FAQs

Can I use this ring with non-Kase 72mm filters?

This ring is specifically designed for Kase's 72mm magnetic circular filter system, and while some other magnetic filters *might* fit, secure attachment and optimal performance are not guaranteed.

What is the actual filter thread size of the ring that attaches to the lens?

The ring has a 58mm male thread that screws onto your lens.

What filter size does the other end of the ring accept?

The outer side of the ring features a magnetic mount designed to accept Kase 72mm magnetic circular filters.

Will this adapter cause my images to have dark corners (vignetting)?

The ring is designed to minimize vignetting, especially when stacking filters. However, with very wide-angle lenses, some minimal vignetting might still occur.

Do I still need a separate magnetic adapter for my filters?

No, this step-up ring integrates the functionality of a step-up adapter and a magnetic adapter, eliminating the need for a separate magnetic adapter.

How do I clean the magnetic surfaces?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the magnetic surfaces. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Filter not attaching securely

Ensure both the lens thread and the ring's magnetic surface are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using a Kase 72mm magnetic circular filter.

Vignetting is still present

While designed to minimize vignetting, extreme wide-angle lenses may still show slight darkening. Try removing other stacked filters or consider if the lens's native field of view is pushing the limits of the filter size.

Ring is difficult to screw onto the lens

Check for cross-threading. Ensure the 58mm thread on the lens is clean and undamaged. Gently try to back the ring off slightly and re-align before screwing it in again.
