Product Information
Full details
The Kase Filters Revolution Inlaid Adapter Ring 72mm is designed for photographers seeking a streamlined and efficient filter system. Its key benefit is the magnetic attachment of filters, allowing for quick changes and reduced vignetting, though its specialized magnetic system may require a transition period for users accustomed to traditional screw-in filters.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of this adapter ring?
The primary advantage is its magnetic attachment system, which allows for very fast and easy swapping of compatible Kase magnetic filters, while also helping to reduce vignetting.
Do I need a special lens to use this adapter?
No, you need a lens with a 72mm filter thread, or you can screw it onto an existing 72mm screw-in filter.
Are Kase magnetic filters included with the adapter?
No, Kase magnetic filters are sold separately. This adapter ring is the mechanism that allows you to attach them easily.
Can I use my regular screw-in filters with this adapter?
Yes, you can screw the adapter onto an existing 72mm screw-in filter, and then attach Kase magnetic filters to the adapter.
How does this adapter help reduce vignetting?
The inlaid design allows the magnetic filters to sit closer to the lens element, which often results in less obstruction of the light path at the corners, thus reducing vignetting.
Can I still use my lens cap with this adapter installed?
Yes, the adapter retains compatibility with traditional snap-on lens caps.
Troubleshooting
Filter not attaching securely
Ensure both the adapter ring and the filter are clean and free of dust or debris. Verify that you are using a compatible Kase magnetic filter.
Difficulty screwing the adapter onto the lens
Check for cross-threading by backing off and re-aligning the adapter. Ensure the lens thread is clean.
Slight vignetting observed
While designed to reduce vignetting, some may occur at very wide focal lengths or with stacked filters. Ensure the adapter is fully seated and try a wider aperture if possible.
