Product Information
Full details
The Kase 58-72mm Magnetic Circular Step Up Ring is an essential accessory for photographers who want to standardize their filter kit by using 72mm magnetic filters on lenses with a 58mm thread diameter. It is designed for users of the Kase circular magnetic system who prioritize a fast, streamlined workflow without the bulk of traditional step-up ring adapters. While this adapter significantly simplifies gear changes, it is important to note that it is specific to the Kase magnetic ecosystem and will not function with non-magnetic screw-in filters.

FAQs
Can I use this with non-Kase filters?
This ring is designed specifically for the Kase circular magnetic filter system and will not securely hold standard threaded filters.
Will this ring cause vignetting?
The low-profile design is specifically engineered to minimize vignetting, even when stacking multiple filters.
Does this replace my standard magnetic adapter?
Yes, this ring acts as both the step-up adapter and the magnetic mounting base.
Can I attach a lens cap to the ring?
Yes, provided the lens cap is designed for the Kase circular magnetic system.
Is this ring compatible with lenses smaller than 58mm?
No, this specific ring is only compatible with lenses featuring a 58mm filter thread.
Troubleshooting
Filter feels loose on the magnetic ring
Check the magnetic surface for dirt or metallic particles that might be preventing a flush connection.
The ring is stuck on the lens
Ensure you are not over-tightening the ring. If stuck, use a dedicated rubber lens filter wrench to gain a better grip for removal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly speeds up the filter swapping process
- Reduces the physical thickness of stacked filter systems
- High-quality build ensures reliable connection to filters
- Streamlines gear by replacing two separate adapters
Cons
- Limited to the Kase circular magnetic filter ecosystem
- Cannot be used with standard threaded screw-in filters
- Requires 72mm magnetic filters for 58mm lenses
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, simply screw the 58mm threaded side of the ring into your lens filter thread just as you would a standard filter. Once attached, your 72mm Kase magnetic filters will snap directly onto the front surface of the ring. To maintain the integrity of the magnetic connection, keep the face of the ring clean from dust and debris. If you notice the magnetic grip weakening over time, use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe the front surface to ensure a direct, clean contact point for the filters.
