This Formatt Hitech step ring connects a 72 mm lens thread to an 86 mm filter, so you can adapt your filter setup rather than needing a filter in every size. It suits photographers who already own filters in the larger size and want to use them on a lens with the smaller thread. Fit the ring between the lens and filter; it bridges the difference in diameter. That makes it a straightforward bit of kit for a mixed lens bag, especially when you want to keep your filter choices consistent across lenses. It’s a practical accessory, not a filter itself, so it won’t alter colour, reflections or exposure on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it fits your setup\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the ring to pair a lens with a 72 mm filter thread and a filter sized for the larger opening. It’s a simple way to share filters between those two sizes. Keep the ring with the filter you plan to use, then screw it into place between the lens and filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst-time step-ring buyers often focus on the filter size and miss the lens-side measurement; this ring makes the pairing clear. The 72 mm end is the one to match to your lens, while the 86 mm end takes the larger filter. I’d suggest it to someone who already has filters in that larger size and wants to use them on a lens with a narrower thread. For example, fit the ring before attaching your filter when you move that filter to the smaller-thread lens. Just remember, it solves a size mismatch; it doesn’t add any filtering effect of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Formatt Hitech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct type: Step ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize pairing: 86-72 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563688993108,"sku":"FH-FC1008672","price":8.16,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/products\/formatt-hitech-firecrest-86-72mm-step-ring","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
