Title: Filter Adaptors for use with multiple lenses
Post by: SteveZ on August 05, 2009, 03:27:22 pm

I have a 77mm ND filter that I'd like to use on a 67mm lens. Can someone tell me what kind of step-down ring or adaptor I'd need to do this? Of course I could buy a new ND filter for the 67mm lens, but I think the other option may be cheaper.

Umm ... you really are unable to work that out by yourself?

Very ignorant response, Olaf, thanks.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm ignorant too.  What are you looking for beyond a 67mm to 77mm step up ring?

I think the heliopan at $41.56 probably uses clearer air.
