Simply, it works!This simple piece of plastic saved me from buying another lens. I had a Raynox high-resolution wide angle lens with 55 mm threads that I bought many years ago for my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50. Now that I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1, I didn't want to buy another wide angle lens, since I only use it occasionaly. This step-up ring allowed me to fit the Raynox lens to the 14-45 mm lens of my G1. This ring is made of plastic, and I prefer that, since if it is not well aligned, the adapter will be the one that will suffer, not the G1 lens (a lot less expensive to replace a step-up ring than a lens!)

Does what it should...I purchased this ring for a friend of mine, who has a coupled of lenses with a 52mm filter thread. When I was cleaning out an old camera bag, I found a stack of three ND filters, and a circular polarizer. Since she's new to photography, I thought of her immediately, except the filters were 55mm filters. The filter ring was far less expensive than it would have been to equip her with equivalent filters in an alternate size, and gives new life to filters I otherwise would have never touched again.

CHEAP AND EFFECTIVEI switched over from my old Mintolta 55mm lenses to a Nikkon D5000 with a 52mm lens and didn't want to spend a small fortune on new filters. Get one of these, it's easy to use, works well, and you'll see no vinetting on your shots. At first I thought this thing would look ridiculous on the end of my camera, but with only 3 mm difference, it looks fine and works even better.

Good quality ring!I use this 52-55 step-up ring with my new Hoya 55mm circular filter so that it can fit on my smaller lens which has a 52mm diameter. The quality is very good, it is some kind of metal, or something like aluminum. You don't see much difference in diameter size, it's not ugly and matches the Nikkor lens's color. It does its job very well, firm and steady.

Does the job - strongI believe this is a metal ring. I use it to attach a 55 mm close up lens to a 52 diameter lens and find it to do the job well. I have no complaints and no worries about it breaking or snapping easily.

Durable and functionalFeels very durable, and gave me no issues when putting it on the lens or while changing filters. Very easy to put it on and forget it's even there.

Does exactly what I need.Just what I needed. Allows me to use my 55 mm filters on my lenses that have 52 mm threads. But I should have also gotten the filter wrenches!
