OVERVIEW

The Samigon Step-Up Ring 55-72 mm is a simple but highly practical accessory that lets you attach 72mm filters, caps, and other threaded accessories to a lens with a 55mm front filter thread. For photographers and videographers who own multiple lenses with different front thread sizes, a step-up ring is an economical solution that reduces the need to buy duplicate filters in several diameters.

Compatible With

  • Lenses with 55mm front filter threads
  • 72mm threaded filters and accessories

Why Use a Step-Up Ring?

The main benefit of a step-up ring is convenience and savings. Instead of purchasing separate UV, circular polarizer, neutral density, or special effects filters for every lens diameter you own, you can standardize on a larger filter size and use this ring to adapt smaller-thread lenses. This is especially useful for photographers building a streamlined kit for travel, landscapes, portraits, and video production.

55mm to 72mm Adaptation

This model specifically converts a 55mm lens thread to a 72mm accessory thread. That means the lens side of the ring screws into the 55mm front thread of your lens, while the front side accepts 72mm filters or accessories. It is important to verify the thread size marked on the front of your lens before purchase, typically indicated by the ø symbol followed by 55mm.

Build and Handling

The Samigon Step-Up Ring is designed to be lightweight and compact, making it easy to leave in your bag at all times. Metal construction helps provide dependable threading and a secure fit when attaching or removing filters. Its low-profile form factor keeps your setup simple while extending the versatility of your existing accessories.

Ideal Uses

This accessory is well suited for photographers who already own 72mm filters and want to use them on a 55mm-thread lens. It can be particularly useful for circular polarizers, ND filters for long exposures or video, protective UV filters, close-up filters, and creative effect filters. It also helps simplify packing by minimizing the number of filter sizes you need to carry.

Things to Keep in Mind

As with most step-up rings, using a larger front-mounted filter may affect compatibility with some original lens hoods or caps designed specifically for the native 55mm lens diameter. Many users instead pair the lens with a 72mm lens cap after attaching the ring. Also, a step-up ring is different from a step-down ring: this model allows larger filters on a smaller lens thread, not the other way around.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from this ring, consider pairing it with a 72mm UV filter for everyday protection, a 72mm circular polarizer for reducing reflections and enhancing skies, a 72mm ND filter for long-exposure or video work, and a 72mm lens cap to protect the front accessory thread when a filter is not installed.

Who It’s For

This step-up ring is an excellent choice for hobbyists, enthusiasts, and working image-makers who want a practical, low-cost way to expand filter compatibility without replacing existing optics. It is especially helpful in kits built around shared filter systems and larger-diameter professional filters.
