FAQs
Can I use this ring with 77mm screw-in filters?
No, this specific ring is optimized for Kase magnetic filter systems.
Will this ring cause vignetting?
The ring is low-profile, but vignetting may occur on ultra-wide lenses depending on the specific lens design and the number of stacked filters.
Is the material aluminum or brass?
The Kase Step Ring is constructed from lightweight, durable, high-grade aircraft aluminum.
Can I attach my lens cap to this ring?
If your lens cap is designed for a 77mm filter thread, it should attach to the front of the ring, provided it is a standard snap-on type.
Does it come with a protective case?
It is typically shipped in minimal protective packaging suitable for storage in a camera bag accessory pocket.
Troubleshooting
Ring is difficult to screw onto the lens
Ensure the threads are perfectly aligned before turning; do not force the ring if you feel resistance, as this could damage the lens threads.
Magnetic filters are not staying attached
Clean both the ring's surface and the back of the magnetic filter to remove any debris or oils that might be interfering with the magnetic contact.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, durable metal construction
- Seamless magnetic compatibility with Kase Wolverine filters
- Lightweight and portable design
- Easy to install and remove
Cons
- May prevent the attachment of original lens hoods
- Limits filter size to 77mm specifically for this step-up configuration
- Not compatible with non-magnetic screw-in filters
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply align the 55mm threaded side of the ring with your lens's front filter thread and rotate clockwise until firm. Do not over-tighten, as the ring's design ensures a secure hold without excessive force. The ring is compatible with any lens featuring a 55mm thread and provides a mounting surface for 77mm magnetic Kase Wolverine filters. To maintain, wipe the magnetic surface with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to ensure a strong connection. If the ring becomes stuck, use a dedicated filter wrench to provide leverage rather than forcing it with your fingers.
