Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the difference in thread sizes cause noticeable vignetting on wider focal lengths?

A: Very possibly, yes, it depends on the focal length of the lens, how wide it is. It always best to get a larger filter if possible. Putting a smaller filter, especially on a wide angle lens, is a recipe towards vignetting.

Q: 2. What is the overall diameter of this step-down adapter ring?

A: There are no published measurements of the diameter of the Heliopan Bay 1-30.5 Step-Down Ring (#305).

Q: 3. Does this cause heavy vignetting with prime lenses for example 50mm?

A: No, you should not get vignetting with a 50mm lens.

Q: 4. I am thinking about purchasing an 82 mm neutral density filter. Is a step-down ring what I need to allow me to use this filter on my 77 mm lenses? Looking at the 82-77 step-down ring (#408) by Heliopan. Thanks!

A: What you would need is a step up ring instead, since you are trying to fit an 82mm filter on a lens with a 77mm diameter. Please see the following link: http://bhpho.to/1n8QhUq

Q: 5. Will these fit on a Canon lens?

Q: 7. hey i have a Tamron 20-40 2.8 77mm Aspherical lens that has a bubble to it, and i want to step down to a 72mm, could this fit on my tamron which is Aspherical? thanks

A: That is a step down ring. If your lens has a 77mm filter thread it will fit and allow you to use 72mm filters on it. Note that stepping down you will get vignette.

Q: 8. I have a 37mm opteka fisheye lens and i want it to fit on my panasonic pv-gs400 which has a 43mm thread. Will this stepup down ring fit the fisheye on the 43mm lens?

A: Sorry, if you were to mount this smaller lens onto a larger lens, you will get vignetting. For the PV-GS400, here is a fine fish eye for you. Raynox HDP-2800ES High Definition 0.28x Diagonal Fisheye Conversion Lens B&H # RAHDP2800ES. Yes, it is more expensive but it will work.

Q: 9. Any observed drawbacks when used on a Sony G-Master 85mm (77mm) with a 72mm Zeiss Polarizer ?

A: There will always be issues using a smaller size filter than the filter threads of the lens. Most notably you are likely to get vignetting.

Q: 10. I'll be using this on my 85mm Tessar ZM which has 43mm filter thread. All of my filters (CPL and ND) have 39mm filter thread. Will my 85mm Lens vignette by using this item?

A: Anytime you use a step-down ring to use a smaller filter on the front of a lens with a larger filter diameter, you run the risk of obtaining some vignetting. Unfortunately, we have no way to test or guarantee which lens/focal length combinations. While vignetting would normally be more noticeable with wide angle lenses compared to telephoto lenses, I cannot guarantee you will not get vignetting. The best I can state would be to purchase the item and see if it works for your needs, and if it does not, you would have 30 days to return the item for an exchange or refund via our 30-Day Return Policy on this item.
