Brass is Better
There are much cheaper adapter rings. But with those cheaper aluminum rings, there comes a time when one binds up and becomes permanently affixed to your favorite filter (probably your CPL, because as you turn the filter it will tighten onto the adapter ring). I have a wrench made to separate those rings, but it’s not always enough. I have put them in the freezer to shrink the metal. All the tricks. So far I haven’t had to destroy an adapter, but I’ve come close.

So now, any time I get a specific adapter ring, I pay for the good stuff. Not because it does a better job holding my filter in place, but because it does a better job letting go. This adapter is very well-machined and screws onto my lenses almost silently. Nice!

This ring came in a nice clamshell case with a foam insert, and while it’s nice, it’s also pretty bulky. It’s good to take care of your nice things, though.
