This device enabled me to continue using a number of filters from my 35mm camera setup with my digital setup; in effect saving me at least a couple of hundred dollars. The difference in filter size was very small, so I've had no problem with vignetting.

There's not much to review about this product accept that it does just what it should. It allows you to use 55mm filters on a 58mm lens. I know how important that distinction is as I recently accidentally bought 2 or 3 rings that all stepped the wrong direction. In any case, it's worth spending the very little money this cost as opposed to buying all new filters.

Nice piece of work. It feels much better than the Canon LAH-DC20 Conversion Lens Adapter (LA-DC58E) and Hood (LH-DC40) Set for the S5 IS, S3 IS & S2 IS Digital Camera which feels flimsy

58mm lens to 55mm filter step down ring. Works well for it's intended purpose. Allows you to use a wide variety of 55mm filters on your 58mm lens.

Have a film camera that I bought some attachments that are still usable but has a different lens size. With this ring I can use the attachments which makes me very happy. A great and useful product. Thanks to Amazon I have been able to recycle and still use.

I love these adapter rings. They're a wonderfully elegant solution to mismatched lenses and accessories for cameras and this one is very well made for the price - couldn't beat this if I tried. Works perfectly for me to attach a TCON-17 teleconverter (55mm thread) to my Fuji HS20 (58mm thread). The seller shipped this in a little plastic bag stuffed into a plain #10 envelope - small wonder the shipping was free! - but the adapter survived the trip very well and works great!

I bought this to go along with some filters that I bought in the wrong size. This is just what I need, and it seems like it will last with my casually fun hobby.

Seems to work fine for allowing me to use 55mm filters for my canon lenses with a 58mm ring size. Its not the highest quality on the threading, but serves its purpose and I can't complain on the price.

If you are reading a review on a step-down adapter ring, then there must be a specific concern you have about protecting a particular lens or special filter. I bought this ring for the specific purpose of using a number of 20+ year-old filters with newer lenses. Believe it or not, the threading protocols seemed to have stayed the same! Actually, this product is very solid and I've had no problems with it sticking to the lens or the old filters.
