Made from aluminium alloy with a black hard-oxidised finish, it offers a durable connection between lens and accessory and helps you use larger UV, ND or CPL filters without buying new glass. This accessory is practical for photographers who want to standardise filters across lenses and eke out better value from existing kit.

Why it’s worth it

The adapter’s matt inner wall reduces stray reflections, and the metal sealing ring promises a snug fit while remaining easy to remove when required. According to the manufacturer, the construction is corrosion resistant and resists deformation under normal use. It’s a low-cost way to adapt a favourite 58mm lens to larger accessories and avoid repeating filter purchases.

Best use cases

It suits photographers who switch between lenses and want to share filters or hoods across systems. 58–72mm step up ring is useful on landscape shoots where ND or CPL filters are common, and in studio setups when a larger accessory is needed temporarily. It’s a good fit if you value practicality and a tidy kit without excess spending.

Compatibility

Compatible with lenses that have a 58mm front thread and accessories sized 72mm. Check the thread size printed under the lens cap or on the lens barrel before ordering, because an incorrect match will not fit. The ring is suitable for common brands including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, Sigma and Tamron according to the product notes.

Care & maintenance

Clean threads and mating surfaces with a soft brush or cloth to avoid cross-threading. Store the ring in a dry place to minimise corrosion risk and avoid overtightening when fitting to prevent thread damage.
