Product Information
Full details
This guide is for photographers using the Kase Circular Magnetic system who want to utilize 95mm Magnetic Circular Filters with lenses featuring smaller thread sizes, specifically 82mm. The primary benefit is seamlessly adapting larger filters to smaller lenses without needing separate magnetic adapters, significantly reducing the risk of vignetting, especially when stacking filters. A potential caveat is ensuring your lens has an 82mm front thread for compatibility with this specific adapter.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this step-up ring?
Its primary purpose is to allow you to use Kase 95mm Magnetic Circular Filters on lenses that have an 82mm filter thread, while also minimizing vignetting.
Can I use this with any brand of filters?
No, this step-up ring is specifically designed to work with the Kase Circular Magnetic filter system.
Will this ring work on lenses with filter threads larger than 82mm?
No, this is an 82-95mm step-up ring, meaning it attaches to an 82mm lens thread to accommodate 95mm filters. It will not work on lenses with larger thread sizes.
How do I clean the magnetic part of the ring?
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe away any dust or smudges. Avoid liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Is this ring compatible with Kase's threaded filters?
No, this ring is designed for Kase's Circular Magnetic filters only.
Can I stack multiple Kase magnetic filters using this ring?
Yes, the design facilitates stacking of Kase Magnetic Circular Filters, helping to reduce vignetting compared to traditional methods.
What does 'vignetting' mean in photography?
Vignetting refers to the darkening of the edges or corners of a photograph, often caused by the lens itself or by attachments like filters that are too large for the lens's thread size.
Troubleshooting
Filter not attaching magnetically
Ensure the magnetic surfaces on both the step-up ring and the filter are clean and free from debris. Confirm you are using a Kase 95mm Magnetic Circular Filter.
Vignetting is still present
While designed to minimize vignetting, extreme wide-angle lenses or excessive filter stacking may still cause slight effects. Try reducing the number of stacked filters or using a slightly narrower focal length if possible.
Ring is difficult to screw onto the lens
Check for any cross-threading. Ensure the lens thread is clean and free from damage. Apply gentle, even pressure when screwing the ring on.
