What about the width of the ring, I've heard that if a ring is too thick it causes vignetting?

Breakthrough Photography makes some nice step-up adapters. IME they are well worth it compared to some of the generics.

I insist on brass, so B+W is out. Heliopan is a contender, but Sensei is cheaper. I buy the latter and am very impressed with the quality and packaging.

+1 These are bit more expensive, but really worth it IMO.

I have a ton of step-up and step-down rings, and all of them are el cheapo generics. Sometimes one gets stuck, but a nice rubbery, flat surface or a filter wrench will usually get things apart, fairly easily.

Like everyone has been saying:

Breakthrough if budget isn't an issue at all.
Sensei brass if it is.

examples of pricing:


Breakthrough Brass 72-77 SU ring is $30 direct from BT
Breakthrough Brass 77-82 SU ring is $34 direct from BT
https://breakthrough.photography/products/step-up-ring?variant=31475681425 (select size)

Sensei Pro Brass 72-77 Step SU ring is $37 from B&H
Sensei Pro Brass 77-82 Step SU ring is $39 from B&H
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=sensei%2077-82%20brass%20step%20up%20ring&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search=

i do believe an explanation might be necessary and possibly some re-evaluation. it seems there is an inversion in the pricing weather conditions. .

i have 2 Sensei Pro brass step up rings up for sale
1- 72-77
1- 77-82
i stacked them

Considering the price of lenses and risk of missing a shot from a stuck ring, either of those brands are good choices despite being rather expensive for step-up rings.

Even the good ones get stuck sometimes. I have a Breakthrough and got it stuck on my CP. Man that thing was soldered on - so it seemed. I put the ring and filter in the freezer for 5-minutes.. Pulled it out. Wrapped a rubber band around the edge of the filter, simple turn and it popped right off.
