Product Information
Full details
The Kase 77-95mm Magnetic Circular Step Up Ring is for photographers using the Kase Circular Magnetic system who want to use larger 95mm filters on lenses with a 77mm thread. Its key benefit is simplifying the filter setup by combining step-up and magnetic adapter functions, reducing the need for multiple accessories. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for the Kase magnetic system and may not be compatible with other brands.

FAQs
Can I use this with my 82mm lens?
No, this specific adapter is designed only for 77mm lens threads. Kase may offer other size adapters for different lens threads.
What is the main advantage of this adapter?
Its main advantage is combining a step-up ring and a magnetic filter mount into one unit, simplifying your filter setup and allowing quick attachment of Kase 95mm magnetic filters to a 77mm lens.
Can I use non-Kase magnetic filters with this adapter?
While some magnetic filters might physically attach, compatibility and optimal performance are only guaranteed with Kase 95mm Circular Magnetic Filters due to precise manufacturing tolerances.
How do I clean the magnetic surface?
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the magnetic rim of the adapter and the corresponding surface of the filter. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Will this adapter cause light leaks?
When properly attached, the magnetic system is designed for a secure fit and should not cause light leaks. Ensure the filter is seated correctly.
Can I stack this adapter with a traditional screw-on filter?
This adapter is designed to directly attach to the lens. While you can attach Kase 95mm magnetic filters to it, it is not intended to be used as a base for other screw-on filters, as this may cause significant vignetting or interfere with the magnetic connection.
Troubleshooting
Filter not attaching magnetically
Ensure both the adapter's magnetic rim and the filter's magnetic edge are clean and free of debris. Verify you are using a Kase 95mm Magnetic Circular Filter.
Adapter is difficult to screw onto the lens
Check for any damage to the lens threads or the adapter's threads. Ensure you are aligning the threads correctly and screw on gently. Do not force it.
Vignetting is still present
While this adapter minimizes vignetting, it can still occur on very wide-angle lenses or when stacking multiple filters. Try using only the adapter and one filter, or consider using a wider-angle lens with a smaller filter thread if possible.
