AMOPOFO 52 to 72mm Step Up Ring

Key features

A simple way to fit larger 72mm filters and accessories to a 52mm lens, the AMOPOFO 52 to 72mm step up ring saves you buying duplicate filters and widens creative options. It is a metal adaptor that lets you mount UV, ND and CPL filters, lens hoods and other 72mm accessories on any camera lens with a 52mm thread, making it easier to standardise kit across bodies and focal lengths.

Technical details

• Name: AMOPOFO 52 to 72mm Step Up Ring
• Material: Aluminium alloy
• Size: 52mm to 72mm
• Colour: Black
• Compatibility: 52mm camera lenses with 72mm accessories

Why it makes sense

The adaptor is machined from aluminium alloy and finished with a matte internal coating and hard anodised exterior according to the manufacturer. That combination helps reduce internal reflections while keeping the ring corrosion resistant and relatively lightweight. It uses a metal sealing ring and laser marking as described by AMOPOFO, which the brand says improves durability and fit. Bear in mind that the ring increases filter diameter only, it does not change lens optics.

Best use cases

This adaptor works well if you already own 72mm filters or hoods you want to use on a 52mm lens. It’s a practical choice for photographers who prefer to buy one set of quality filters rather than several sizes. You’ll like it if you value simple, mechanical solutions that extend the usefulness of existing kit. If you frequently switch lenses, check each lens barrel for the printed thread size to ensure correct fit.

Care & maintenance

Wipe threads gently with a soft cloth to remove grit before attaching to avoid cross‑threading. The manufacturer recommends removing the ring when not in use to protect the lens cap and threads. Keep in mind that stacking large filters may affect balance on compact lenses.
