25mm step up ring

I'm having trouble finding a step up ring for a lens with a 25mm filter
thread size. B&H and Adorama don't seem to have them. I don't care what
size it steps up to, as long as it is a relatively common filter size.

Thanks,
Jim

 

How much money are you willing to spend?

If you're in the US they'll make anything you want. Others in the world
KHB here in Canada. Will do the same. It'll cost a few $$$. OTOH if you can
live with something that looks less then perfect and it's not a collecter
lens then you could just tape/glue a ring onto the lens.

Thanks for the link. The step up ring is for a Sony camcorder, and it's
hard to believe that that size isn't made. I would think that there are a
lot of 25mm, one inch, filter threads out there. I'll contact SK GRIMES as
a last resort. They are a little pricey.

Thanks again.

I bet Sony sells filters in the 25mm size? It's a common trick to use a
uncommon size. Forcing you to buy the filters made by the lens maker.

On one lens I have with no filter threads at all what I did was
take the lens to a camera shop and tried on various rubber hoods. I found
one just big enough to fit around the outside of the lens. A little duct
tape and I had a hood and a filter ring.

In this case, the lens is flush with the front of the camera, so it would be
difficult to rig something up. Sony makes a 25mm polarizing filter, but I
want to use a Tiffen Pro Mist.

What happened to Tiffen's Web site? www.tiffen.com seems to be down.

Thanks again.

If the size is 25.5mm, there are some adapters at www.2filter.com

It's 25mm on the nose, but thanks for the link.

Parts of the internet seem to be having problems this weekend. Maybe
somebody decided to upgrade something.

Jim;

At one time COKIN sold an adapter to use Cokin filters on P&S cameras.
It was a plastic shelf with a tripod screw for the camera and a slot in
front where the filter would go. Sounds like this is what you need since
you are mainly concered with Cokin filters .



Both Ednalite and Tiffen listed adapter rings to Series 5.
If you could find one of these in a junk box it would be a start.
This adapter is a Fine thread

Hi Jim,

In the UK there is a very good firm called SRB Film (www.srbfilm.co.uk), who
make things to order and specialize in adapters for photo gear.

Looking at thier pdf price list, they list stepping rings down to only 27mm,
but will make t order, so best to get in touch direct regarding costs.

Cheers,
Stephen

 

This looks like just what I need, but I don't know if it would make sense to
order from them given that they are in the UK. I hope to find a similar
company in the US.

Thanks,
Jim
