I've got a GH2 with the kit lens (52mm thread). So naturally, all of my filters, diopters, converters, etc. are 52mm.I also have a Nikon 75-205 which has 58mm threads. It's great for lots of things including macrophotography, but it doesn't focus very closely. Rather than buy a 58mm diopter in addition to the 52mm that I have, I just got this converter.I have zero vignetting, and no other issues like that. It also goes on and off really smoothly.Machined aluminum is what it feels like. A very simple product that works great!

When I first decided to order this product I was a little apprehensive because of the lack of any feedback from previous customers. If you look at the two images shown of what the product should look like those two rings are completely different and look nothing alike. I ordered this 58-52mm step down adapter anyway and received it in the mail a few days later. Upon opening the package I found not the step down adapter, but a 40.5-52mm step up adapter along with a complementary microfiber cloth. The 40.5-52mm step up ring looks like the first picture shown of the two on the product page, with it's wide brim despite being the incorrect product for the description. Needless to say I was very disappointed and pissed off. I filed a claim with amazon and received an email from Digital Goja within a few hours apologizing for the mix up and offering to send me the correct product in the mail free of charge, which I then received in the mail a few days after that with another complementary microfiber cloth. This product resembles the second of the two photos displayed on the product page. Annoyed with the display of the incorrect product and having received the wrong product, so minus one star. However, very pleased with their customer service and dedication to customer satisfaction.Recently received a refund for the product as an apology for the mix up. Very pleased with this company.

i love this!! i bought a which comes with a 52mm lens ... the upgraded lens which is a 58mm thread needed a different size filter (obviously) but after finding this product i only now have to buy one size filter and it fits BOTH lenses!!! LOVE IT!!! i only learned about the step down ring because i was looking for "star" filters which only came in the 58mm size ... so now that i have this step down ring, i can put my 58mm filer on my 52mm lens! perfect addition to anyone's camera bag that has two different sized lenses :)

The step down ring finally arrived after a week and a half. I ordered this along with a 58/49. This one is a Bower brand, so it is a pretty good quality. Judging from the other ring, though, I suspect that the brand you get is hit and miss.The seller's service is not the best. The shipping was free, which is nice. But the ring was just stuck in an ordinary letter envelope with the other one I ordered. Neither ring came with a box and the envelope had torn open. So it is just luck that both rings were still inside. Although it shows that it shipped First Class Mail, they must have waited nearly a week before they actually mailed it, as First Class should have gotten to me in about three days.If you can get one locally, you are probably better off going that way. If you don't live near a camera store then order from these folks. Just leave enough time for it to arrive.

Step-down adapter is well made and easily threads on my current Canon 18-55mm lens (58mm filter size). I have about 30 Hoya filters (52mm), that I've used on my old SLR, that now I can use on my new DSLR. I tried several filters and they screwed into the adapter without any problems. Be aware that there will be some vignetting at the corners at the widest lens setting. On this lens, vignetting occured at a focal length of 18mm (28.8mm equivalent in 35mm film format) with no vignetting at 24mm (38.4mm equivalent in 35mm film format) and greater. I did not interpolate focal lengths between 18-24mm to see when the actual vignetting disappeared. My primary concern was to use these filters in a focal range of 40 - 80mm (35mm film format equivalent).This vignetting will occur whenever you use a step-down ring adapter on a wide angle lens...regardless of the brand of adapter.I'm completely satisfied with this product since it allows me to use all my special effects filters, except at the widest focal setting. As a matter of fact, I ordered two rings, one for each of my camera bags.If you plan to use a filter, such as a UV or Skylight filter, as a lens protector, order the correct filter for your lens size so that you'll be able to utilize it over the entire focal length without vignetting.

I purchased this product to replace a combination 58-55 stepdown and a 55-52 stepdown, so I was bound to be happy with the result. Still, if the adapter ring didn't have good, tight threading, which was deep enough to allow me to trust it to hold a couple of $250+ lenses, then I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.I've purchased a few Adorama adapter rings, and my use of them has led me to trust their products.If I could ask for something more, it would be for the edge of the adapter to have some type of protruding piece or grip that would allow me to trust my attaching and un-attaching to feel, alone. Even so, the solid build and tight tolerance have meant good, tight fits between my lenses and my cameras.
