Product Information

Full details

This Kase Magnetic Circular Step Up Ring is for photographers using the Kase Circular Magnetic system who want to adapt their smaller lenses to use larger 82mm or 77mm Kase Magnetic Circular Filters. The key benefit is simplified workflow by eliminating the need for a separate magnetic lens adapter and step-up ring, while also helping to reduce vignetting when stacking filters. A caveat is its exclusive compatibility with the Kase Circular Magnetic system.

FAQs

Can I use this with any 82mm filter?

No, this adapter is specifically designed for the Kase Circular Magnetic filter system. You must use Kase 82mm Circular Magnetic filters.

What is the smallest lens thread size this ring will work with?

This ring is designed for lenses with a 55mm filter thread.

Does this adapter work with Kase's Square filter system?

No, this adapter is exclusively for the Kase Circular Magnetic filter system.

How do I clean the magnetic surfaces?

Gently wipe the magnetic surfaces with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid liquids or abrasive materials.

Will this help reduce vignetting on my wide-angle lens?

Yes, it is designed to help reduce vignetting, especially compared to traditional stacked step-up rings, but extreme wide-angle lenses may still exhibit some.

Can I stack multiple Kase magnetic filters with this adapter?

Yes, the adapter is designed to facilitate filter stacking with the Kase Circular Magnetic system and helps minimize associated vignetting.

Troubleshooting

Ring does not magnetically attach to the lens.

Verify that your lens has a 55mm filter thread and that the magnetic surfaces of both the lens and the ring are clean and free from obstructions. Ensure you are using a Kase Circular Magnetic system compatible lens.

Vignetting is still present.

While the ring helps reduce vignetting, it may still occur on ultra-wide-angle lenses or when stacking multiple filters. Try using the 82mm filter alone or remove other filters if possible. Ensure the ring is centered correctly.

Filter attachment feels loose.

Ensure both the ring is securely attached to the lens and the filter is correctly seated on the ring's magnetic mount. Check for any debris interfering with the magnetic connection.
