The XUME 82mm Filter Holder for Photographyis a precision-machined metal ring that attaches to a 82mm circular screw-in filter to provide instant and secure attachment to lenses when a Xume Lens Adapter is installed. NdFeB rare Earth magnets are integrated within lens adapters to attach to the filter holder to and provide a strong, but easy to remove, connection that is suitable for use with oft-used filters. By using quick-to-remove magnets to attach filters, changing of filters can occur much more quickly and eliminates the chance of cross-threading or jamming when installing or removing filters. The ring is approximately the same thickness as most step-rings and will not cause vignetting on most lenses with focal lengths as wide as 24mm (35mm equivalent). Over-the-lens type lens hoods are still compatible when Xume Adapters and Holders are in place and are recommended during use to provide an even more assured connection if working in busy environments.

Traditional snap-on lens caps are not directly compatible with Xume lens adapters. To protect the front element of a lens that is not in use, but has a Xume lens adapter installed on it, a Xume filter holder can be first connected to a snap-on lens cap. The combination of a snap-on lens cap and a Xume filter holder can then placed over the lens instead of a filter with a Xume filter holder. Alternatively, a Xume lens cap designed to cover a correspondingly-sized Xume lens adapter may be used instead.

Q: 1. Does anyone just buy this adapter ring, and buy cheaper step up rings for your lenses with smaller front diameters? Essentially making all of your smaller lenses a 82mm front thread so you don't have to buy a bunch of $55 adapters?

A: This solution works if you're not attaching the adapter ring with a step-up ring to a wide-angle lens. I your lens is 18mm or wider on a full-frame, you may get vignetting on the corners. You should buy the wide-angle adapter rings for any wide-angle lens you have and cheaper step-up rings for your other lenses. Of course, this isn't as convenient as having an adapter ring on every lens.
