View Full Version : Stupid Newbie Filter Question

Lens 52mm and I already have a 55mm circular polarizing filter, so is there anything wrong with buying a step up ring to save space and money instead of the proper filter?

As per title, probably a silly question, and it's not that I'm tight, honestly :lol:, but it just feels wasteful to buy another filter when I have a perfectly good 55mm, unless a step up ring diminishes picture quality.

Personally I use them and haven't had any problems or noticable drops in quality

Yep, I do the same. Mine are 77mm (my biggest filter size) and use various step up rings with other lenses.
