Step-down adapter for filters and accessories

The Genesis Gear Step-Down 82-77 mm adapts the 82 mm front thread of a lens or tube to a filter, converter or other accessory with a 77 mm thread. It is intended for setups where the accessory thread differs from the lens-side thread.

How the adapter ring works

The first value in the 82-77 mm designation refers to the lens or tube thread, while the second refers to the filter or accessory thread. Screw the ring into the 82 mm thread, then attach the 77 mm accessory to the ring.

Matching thread sizes

Before ordering, check the front-thread diameter on the lens and the thread diameter of the filter or converter. This version connects a lens-side thread of 82 mm to an accessory thread of 77 mm. Using a smaller-diameter filter can cause vignetting with some lenses and focal lengths, so compatibility should be checked for the intended setup.
