Stan Shaw Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hello...Looking for some advice on which ring adapter to buy for a new Lens I have for my video camera. My video camera has a 30mm thread size and the lens thread size is 58mm. Rowan kindly supplied me with 2 ring adapters. One is 58-52mm and the other is 52-43mm. So what I am wondering is, which size adapter should I get? Should I go for a 58-30, or 43-30? I am not sure if its better to have the lens further away from the camera or not?The camera I have is a Sony DCR-SR52 and the lens is a Raynox MX-3000 Pro 0.3x semi fisheye (thanks Rowan!)Advice is appreciated!Cheers, Stan.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 You need a 58-30. how would a 58mm lens fit onto a 43mm ring? or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) Personally I'd get a 30-58 stepping ring Ebay linkThe problem with using more than one stepper is it brings the adaptor further away from the original lens, increasing vignetting.Edit - Oh and Dr Nick, hes on about using a 30-43 then a 43-52 then a 52-58 Edited March 4, 2009 by that NBR dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 yeah - if you can get a 30-58 the only reason I had two on there is I bought the wrong size to start with !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
