LENS / LENS FILTER / ADAPTER RING problem...pls help!?
hi everyone! ok so...
i have the NIKON 55-200mm VR and 18-55mm VR lenses.
i have the HOYA 55mm filters.
the filters wont fit into the lenses!
i bought a ring adapter...Step Down. 55mm-52mm.
and it still wont do!
did i needed a...Step Up. 52mm-55mm,
instead?
please help!
Per the Nikon site both lenses use a 52mm diameter filter.
Although you can use a 52mm to 55mm step-up adapter, it will probably cause vignetting (dark corners on your images) at the 18mm end of your 18-55mm lens.
Both lenses should always have a UV/Haze filter (52mm) fitted to protect the front element. I always suggest a "thin" or "slim" mount filter for the 18-55mm lens to avoid vignetting.
