Product Information
Full details
This Kood Step-Up Ring is for photographers looking to expand their filter options by adapting lenses with a 62mm thread to accept 77mm filters. Its key benefit is the cost-effective way to use a wider range of larger filters without buying new ones. A potential caveat is ensuring the lens's inner barrel does not obstruct the filter when used wide open.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of this step-up ring?
Its main purpose is to allow you to attach 77mm threaded filters and accessories to a lens that has a 62mm filter thread.
Will this step-up ring work with any 62mm lens?
It will work with any lens that has a 62mm *male* filter thread on the front. Always double-check your lens specifications.
Can I stack filters using this adapter?
Yes, you can screw a 77mm filter onto the step-up ring, and then potentially screw another 77mm filter onto the first one, depending on the filter's design.
How durable is the metal construction?
The metal construction is designed for durability and a secure fit, offering more resilience than plastic adapters.
Will this cause vignetting?
The low-profile design minimizes vignetting. However, with extremely wide-angle lenses, some vignetting in the corners may still occur, especially at wider apertures. Testing is recommended.
Can I use this ring with a lens hood?
If the lens hood is designed to screw onto the front filter thread and is specifically for 77mm threads, it should be compatible. However, ensure the hood does not obstruct the filter.
What is the difference between a step-up and a step-down ring?
A step-up ring increases the filter thread size (e.g., 62mm to 77mm), while a step-down ring decreases it (e.g., 77mm to 62mm).
Troubleshooting
Ring is difficult to screw onto the lens.
Ensure you are not cross-threading. Check for any debris on the lens threads or the ring's threads. Try gently rocking the ring while screwing it on. If resistance persists, the threads may be incompatible or damaged.
Filter does not screw onto the step-up ring properly.
Verify that the filter has a 77mm thread size. Check both the ring's outer thread and the filter's inner thread for any damage or debris. Ensure you are screwing the filter on straight.
Vignetting (dark corners) is present in photos.
This is more likely to occur with very wide-angle lenses. Try zooming in slightly, or if possible, using a narrower aperture. Test the setup without the filter attached to see if the ring itself is causing the issue. If the vignetting is severe, this ring may not be suitable for your specific wide-angle lens.
Pros and Cons

- Allows use of larger, potentially more common 77mm filters on a 62mm lens.
- Durable metal construction ensures longevity and secure fitting.
- Low-profile design helps reduce the chance of vignetting.
- Cost-effective way to expand photographic accessory options.
Cons
- May introduce slight vignetting on very wide-angle lenses, even with a low-profile design.
- Adds a small amount of physical length to the lens setup.
- Requires careful alignment during attachment to avoid cross-threading.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure your lens has a 62mm filter thread.
- Gently screw the Kood Step-Up Ring onto the front of the lens's filter thread. Screw it in clockwise until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
- Screw your desired 77mm filter onto the outer thread of the step-up ring.
Compatibility:

- Accessory Thread Size: Compatible with filters and accessories featuring a 77mm female thread.
- Filter Types: Works with all standard 77mm screw-in filters, including UV, CPL, ND, close-up lenses, and lens hoods designed for 77mm threads.
Care:
- Clean the metal surfaces with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
- For stubborn smudges, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Store the ring in a protective case or pouch when not in use to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
