B+W Verloopring 5 58-55

B+W Verloopring 5 58-55 | Use a smaller filter on a larger thread

Use a filter you already own on a lens with a larger filter thread, rather than buying another filter in a different size. The B+W Verloopring 5 58-55 is a step-down ring that adapts a 58mm lens thread to a 55mm filter. It’s a straightforward way to keep a smaller filter in use with a lens that would otherwise not accept it directly, handy when you want to travel with fewer filter sizes or make use of the filters already in your kit. The ring itself doesn’t change the effect of a filter; it simply connects the two sizes. That makes it a practical accessory for photographers who know the thread sizes of their lens and filter and want a direct, compact link between them. Choose this ring for that specific size combination, and you can build your filter setup around the filters you already have.

Using the step ring

Match the larger side to the lens and the smaller side to the filter. Start the threads straight and turn gently; if a filter doesn’t screw on smoothly, stop rather than forcing it. Once fitted, the ring gives you a simple way to use your existing filter on the lens without changing the filter itself. It’s a small part, but getting the size pairing right is what makes it useful.
