Kenko Stepping Ring 49mm - 82mm

Kenko Stepping Ring 49mm - 82mm | Use larger filters on a smaller lens

When the filter you want to use is wider than the fitting on your lens, a stepping ring bridges the difference. This Kenko ring adapts a lens with a 49mm filter fitting to accept an 82mm filter, letting you make use of a larger filter you already own. It’s a straightforward way to avoid buying another filter solely to match a different lens size. The ring is for photographers who work with lenses and filters in these two sizes and want a simple connection between them. It’s especially handy when sharing a filter between compatible lenses: fit the ring to the lens, then attach the filter. The ring changes the connection size; it doesn’t change what the filter does. That makes it a practical, focused accessory for managing a mismatch in filter sizes.

Using the ring

Place the ring between the lens and the filter: its smaller side matches the lens fitting, while the larger side takes the filter. For example, this lets you use an 82mm polarising or neutral density filter on a lens with a 49mm fitting. It’s a simple way to make one filter work across the sizes this ring is designed to join. The ring itself doesn’t add a filter effect, so choose the filter for the result you want.
