Review on 77mm to 82mm Step-Up Lens Adapter Ring for Filters by Breakthrough Photography: Premium CNC Machined Brass with Matte Black Electroplated Finish by Darnell Murphy

I ordered this boost ring hoping to see if it really is as good as people say and if it would solve the binding problem I've had with *every boost ring* the I have bought so far. Answer: Yes. Longer answer: I usually try not to screw the filter all the way into the boost ring for easier removal. However, with the C-PL I mostly end up with the filter getting tighter and tighter as I increasingly use it with a boost ring. As a result, I mostly struggle to separate the two. even with filter buttons. The first thing I did with this step up ring was take my C-PL filter, screw it all the way in and see if I could unscrew it by hand. Each time I put it on more and more. So far - I haven't had any problems unscrewing the filter, even if it's screwed into the ring as tightly as possible. To sum up this boost ring is a little heavier than others I've had, the tabs on it are a great feature as you have more room to separate it from the filter, it's definitely well made and (most importantly) does it is exactly what you would expect without the risk of being tied to your filters. Can I unscrew it by hand? Each time I put it on more and more. So far - I have no problems unscrewing the filter, even if it is screwed as tightly as possible into the ring.
