I did purchase the Bower ring but received from Adorama a generic, no-name one. Hence I am reviewing the one I got, which is not very well made (wobbles when mounted until you really tight it) and when cleaned with a cloth, it left black marks, so the finish is not great either. For the $4 paid it is not worth returning to (maybe) get the Bower one... So careful which vendor you purchase from, some seem to think it is fine to switch brands without telling you - then it is up to you to go through the trouble of replacing it.

What can I say, it works as advertised. Just a small caution to would-be circular polarizer filter users, don't overtighten or you will have an awful time trying to remove it.

This all metal ring, fits very well on my canon 50mm 1.8. I never had any thread issues, it fits pretty smooth and quickly. Also the filter gets screwed on pretty smooth. Very nice for the price, actually more than worth the price.

ii used this to adapt a hoya IR filter that i bought for my G9 to my canon 50mm 1.8 on my xti - works fine, no problems. don't over tighten filters - they may become hard to remove.

I have a bunch of 58 mm filters that I wanted to use on a 52mm threaded lens. This solves that problem.

Don't go the other way, or you will interfere in the image.

I ordered from A&R PHOTO VIDEO INC and received a black metal step-up ring that says "52mm-58mm" on it. It does not say "BOWER" on it as in the picture. The ring seems to have solid construction and fits my lenses and filters just fine.

NOT a Bower; unfortunately a no-name converter- not the one shown in the picture with "Bower" on it. I took off one star because of the misrepresentation but also another one because it is not very smooth when attaching to my Hoya HMC UV filter. Still, it is metal, does its job and will probably last.

This 52-58mm step-up ring is a very good step-up ring. It's made properly, it's smooth, and the threads are smooth as well. I don't know what else I can possibly say about a step-up ring... Oh, I know! It has a black anodized finish...!

Threads match up well with both the lens and the filter. Seems to be as sturdy as one would expect for a little plastic ring. Well worth a couple bucks to avoid buying/hauling multiple sets of filters.

ok very simple, I ordered a 52mm-58mm and I received a 52mm-67mm. is this a joke? be careful with this one... now what because I dont need a 52mm-67mm...
