The PRO 58-49mm Aluminum Step-Down Ring from Sensei permits the use of 49mm threaded filters on lenses with 58mm filter threads. It has large side knurls to provide a more textured grip when mounting or removing it from a lens. This step-down ring features a lightweight aluminum alloy construction with a corrosion-resistant, matte black, hard-anodized finish for durability and minimizing reflections.

Q: 1. Could this cause vignetting on a 15mm wide angle lens?

A: While it would depend on the lens and filter you are using to say for sure, since this is a step-up ring and even wider, it is unlikely that it would cause any vignetting.

Q: 2. Can you stack these? I have a 58-77 but I want to convert it to an 82mm. Can I buy a 77mm to 82mm and stack it with the 58mm to 77mm?

A: You can do that, but vignetting is possible on a wide-angle lens--this 58-82mm adapter ring is a better idea: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1443406-REG/sensei_surpa_5882_pro_58_82mm_step_up_ring.html

Q: 3. Does it fit on canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens. The thread size of my lense is 49mm where we usually put uv filter..

A: Yes, since your filter size is 49mm the hood will either screw on to your UV filter or directly on to the camera.

Q: 4. What is the thread pitch for the 39mm side of the Sensei PRO 39-52mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring?

A: 0.75mm

Q: 5. I own a Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4, will this fit well on it?

A: Yes, the Pentax Super Takumar 50mm f/1.4 has a 49mm filter thread and will work well with the Sensei PRO aluminum lens hood.

Q: 6. Am planning to do these 1. step up from 37-52mm and then 2. step up from 52-67mm 3. Mount a 67mm CPL filter Will I be introducing vignetting in this setup? Appreciate all comments. Thanks in advance.

A: Depends on the lens you're using. But its likely you wouldn't get any vignetting from the filter due to the filter being so much bigger than the lens diameter. A random suggestion I think would help to simplify the process, consider looking into this step up ring. It's from 37-67mm all in one. So you wouldn't need to stack step-ups. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1355342-REG/benro_dr6737_67_37mm_step_down_ring.html?sts=pi&pim=Y

Q: 7. Can anyone tell me the outer diameter of the 77mm step up ring(s) ? I'm interested to know if I can use a 80mm push on cap over it.

A: The OD is probably 79 or 80mm. You will have to try it with your cap, This is never an exact science due to the fact that dimensions are never precise from cap to cap and ring to ring.

Q: 8. Is the description backwards? This looks like it allows one to use a 72mm filter on a 67mm lens. Why would you use a filter that is smaller than the lens?

A: The description is correct; a step-down ring allows you to use smaller filters on larger-diameter lenses. There are a few reasons as to why, for example, to save on the cost of buying filters again if you already own a lot of them in the smaller size. Also, if the lenses have a very narrow field-of-view, the visible vignette might not be significant and not influence the photo that much.

Q: 9. Hi. I just wanted to confirm the following: I have a 77mm 6 stop ND Filter that I want to use on 72/67/62/58/52/43mm lenses. Am I correct in saying that I am looking for a Step-Up Filter Holder (eg 72-77mm)? I need to confirm as I need buy a few of these. Also will you get vignetting when using these filters? Thanks.

A: Yes, you need to use individual step up filters for all your lenses. I use 5 step up filters for all my lens sizes to fit 77mm ND filter. 72-77mm, 67-77mm , 58-77mm, 49-77mm

Q: 10. What is the height protrusion of the ring above the lens?

A: Sensei PRO 72-67mm Aluminum Step-Down Ring is 3.5mm tall above the threads.
