Product Information

Full details

This Kase Magnetic Circular Step-up Ring is designed for photographers using 49mm threaded camera lenses who want to utilize larger 72mm filters without the bulk of multiple adapters. Its primary benefit is the seamless magnetic attachment, allowing for quick filter changes and reducing potential vignetting when stacking filters. A potential caveat is the specific 49mm to 72mm size compatibility, limiting its use to lenses within this thread size range.

FAQs

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

This ring is designed for Kase's magnetic filter system. While a standard 72mm filter might physically screw onto the 72mm end, the magnetic attachment feature will not function, and the fit may not be optimal.

Will this work with any 49mm lens?

It will screw onto any lens with a 49mm filter thread. However, compatibility with lens hoods or other accessories attached to the lens may vary.

How do I clean the magnetic surface?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using any liquid cleaners, as they can affect the magnetic connection and potentially damage the finish.

What is the main advantage over a traditional step-up ring?

The main advantage is the magnetic attachment for filters, which allows for much faster filter changes compared to screwing them on and off.

Can I stack multiple Kase magnetic filters using this ring?

Yes, you can stack multiple Kase magnetic filters. This ring is designed to help minimize vignetting when filters are stacked.

Is this ring suitable for video recording?

Yes, the quick magnetic attachment makes it ideal for video recording where rapid adjustments to lighting conditions are often needed.

Troubleshooting

Ring won't attach to the lens

Verify the lens has a 49mm filter thread. Ensure there are no obstructions or damage to the lens threads or the ring's internal threads.

Magnetic filter not attaching securely

Ensure both the ring's magnetic surface and the filter's magnetic edge are clean and free from dust or debris. Check that you are using a 72mm Kase magnetic filter.

Vignetting is still present

While designed to reduce vignetting, extreme wide-angle lenses or stacking too many filters can still cause it. Try using fewer filters or ensure the ring is properly seated on the lens.

Difficulty removing the ring from the lens

Grip the ring firmly but gently and unscrew it in a counter-clockwise direction. If stuck, try a rubber grip pad for better traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 49mm filter thread.
  2. Carefully screw the Kase Magnetic Circular Step-up Ring onto the lens thread until snug. Avoid over-tightening.
  3. Align and attach your compatible 72mm Kase magnetic filter to the front of the ring. You should feel a magnetic pull.
