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

This product is extremely disappointing. It stuck to my ND filter when I was shooting a wedding! I have two of these rings and they are BOTH glued onto two different sized ND filters. Fortunately, I was only able to photograph a wedding with these two lenses. I was very stressed and will NEVER buy these boost rings again. The only way to remove them is to douse them with WD-40, then disassemble the ND filter (because the oil contaminates the glass), clean it, and then reassemble it. Extremely…

Probably the best adapter rings you can buy. They feel very durable, easy to apply and I've had no issues with the filters sticking. I also love that you can buy a ring that skips multiple sizes without having to string together a lot of cheap sensor rings to get the right size. There is no doubt about the qualitative difference between these proposals. I have two different sizes 67-77 and 72-77 and both are great. I find it difficult to justify the price difference. I've had cheaper rings and…

Who knew an adapter ring could get so many reviews? Well, there's a reason. These rearing rings do not bind like other rings. Firstly, these rings are made of brass which does not stick. But the saving grace of these breakthroughs is the knurled edge, giving you the option to purchase should you need to unscrew the 77mm filter from the adapter ring. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people try to remove the filters from the adapter rings and then give up and throw it all in their bags…

For the past thirty years I have used adapter rings on almost every camera imaginable, including 16mm and 35mm film. So far, the rings have had a history of poor handling and caused countless moments of panic. THIS ring is AMAZING! It's well made, bulky (not weak), well packaged (although I'll put mine in a hard/styrene filter housing) and is a well thought out piece of machinery. I will look for other products from this company including other step rings. If you get one of these and don't like

Breakthrough Photography Stepped rings cost about four times more than regular rings and are worth every penny. After getting two new $6 aluminum rings that bent when I opened the box, I found Breakthrough CNC Brass Rings and have only bought their rings ever since. Even if the cheaper aluminum rings weren't as brittle, the threads of the Breakthrough Rings are so much smoother that they would still be worth the price. The grooved outer edge provides a much better grip than even Tiffen rings…

Reluctant to order as the price is much higher than aluminum step rings, and not sure it could be much better. This is a very beautiful ring. The ring is about three times heavier than the aluminum versions, so it's still light and very well made. The biggest plus and reason I even considered this ring is that it doesn't stick like the aluminum rings I've used. Despite my best efforts, the aluminum rings stayed attached to the point where I didn't think I would ever be able to remove the…

I ordered this boost ring hoping to see if it really is as good as people say and if it would solve the bonding problem I've had with *everyone Boost ring* that I have bought so far. Short 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 usually end up with the filter getting tighter and tighter as I use it more and more with the boost ring. As a result, I mostly have trouble separating them, even with

This rearing ring works well on the first try. The textured, knurled handle is very helpful when trying to unscrew the filter. Being brass it helps with sticking threads and blackening should help with glare/unwanted reflections for example. It should be noted that unlike my other adapter rings that I have received from another manufacturer, this one does not have a housing anyway. The packaging was a plastic zip-lock containing a ring and a microfiber cloth. The shipping envelope was a simple…

NEXT 3 MONTHS: I originally rated this 3 stars, now downgraded to 1. As mentioned, I have always had and still have some difficulties screwing filters into the adapter. The reason I lowered this value to one is that I had the adapter's FALL OFF filter in a studio setting. I don't run, shoot or swing my camera, I just carry it on my shoulder strap. I screwed my filter all the way in (only about a full turn) but it came loose and fell right off me as I walked through the studio. After using this…
