Samigon Step-Up Ring 55-67 mm

The Samigon Step-Up Ring 55-67 mm is a practical adapter designed to expand the accessory compatibility of a lens with 55mm front filter threads. By converting a 55mm thread to a 67mm thread, this ring allows photographers and videographers to use larger 67mm filters, lens accessories, or threaded attachments without replacing their existing lens.

Compatible With

• Lenses with 55mm front filter threads
• 67mm threaded filters and accessories

Key Function

A step-up ring is one of the simplest and most useful accessories in any camera bag. This Samigon ring enables a lens with a smaller 55mm filter thread to accept larger 67mm filters. That means you can standardize on a single filter size across different lenses, reducing cost and simplifying your workflow in the field or studio.

Build and Design

Designed for everyday use, the ring features a lightweight yet durable metal construction with threaded surfaces on both sides. It mounts to the front of a 55mm lens and presents a 67mm front thread for accessories. Its compact profile makes it easy to leave in your bag at all times, and the straightforward screw-in design is fast to install and remove.

Benefits for Photographers and Videographers

Using a step-up ring can be a smart money-saving decision. Instead of buying multiple filters in different sizes for each lens, you can invest in a single higher-quality 67mm filter set and use it on compatible smaller-thread lenses. This is especially useful for premium circular polarizers, neutral density filters, black mist filters, and UV protectors that can become expensive when purchased in several sizes.

Typical Use Cases

This 55-67mm step-up ring is ideal for mounting 67mm UV filters for lens protection, circular polarizers for controlling reflections, neutral density filters for long exposures or video shutter control, and other threaded accessories. It is especially handy when a photographer owns multiple lenses and wants to streamline accessories around a larger common filter size.

Comparison to Step-Down Rings

Unlike a step-down ring, which adapts a larger lens thread to a smaller filter and can increase the risk of vignetting, a step-up ring is often the preferred choice when using filters across lenses. By moving from 55mm up to 67mm, you generally gain better flexibility and more room for filter compatibility, though lens hood compatibility may vary depending on the lens and accessory combination.

Usage Tips

Before attaching the ring, confirm that your lens has a 55mm front filter thread, usually marked on the front barrel or lens cap with the Ø symbol. Thread the ring on gently to avoid cross-threading, then attach your 67mm filter or accessory. If stacking multiple filters, check carefully for possible vignetting on wider-angle lenses. For best results, keep the ring threads clean and store it in a small pouch or accessory case when not in use.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from this ring, pair it with 67mm UV filters for everyday protection, 67mm circular polarizers for outdoor shooting, 67mm ND filters for long exposure and video work, and a protective filter case for transport. A lens cleaning cloth and blower can also help maintain clean contact surfaces and filter glass.

Why Choose a Step-Up Ring

For photographers building an efficient system, a step-up ring is a small accessory that delivers outsized value. It helps reduce duplicate filter purchases, supports a more organized kit, and offers a convenient way to use higher-end larger-diameter accessories on smaller-thread lenses. The Samigon Step-Up Ring 55-67 mm is a straightforward, reliable choice for expanding filter compatibility in a simple and affordable way.
