Does exactly what the name says it does, and for a fair price point.

The brass is worth it.

I own other sizes of these Sensei rings in aluminum and this is the first I've bought in brass, (the PRO version). This one seems a lot sturdier than the aluminum ones. I believe it far less likely to loose its threads or to get stuck. From now on I'm buying the PRO versions.

question

Is it more practical to buy a brass step up ring, or will an aluminum ring do the same thing at a lesser charge?
Asked by: Anonymous
My experience is that brass jams less than aluminum. Aluminum seems to gall more easily. Keep in mind that some bushings are made of brass (some use bronze) but never aluminum.

Will this work with a Sigma 18-35mm f 2.1 lens?
Asked by: Eckert
If you are referring to the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 lens, yes the lens has a 72mm thread and so the step up ring will allow you to use 77mm filters.
