Do step-down rings cause vignetting?

Step-down rings are not as widely used as step-up rings because, in most cases, the smaller filter sizes result in vignetting. In these cases, the smaller image field will often negate any vignetting or image clipping.

What is the difference between step up and step-down rings?

4 Answers. A step-up ring allows you to fit a filter that has threads larger than your lens. A step-down ring does the opposite (with possible vignetting issues). If you have 72mm lens threads and want to fit a 77mm filter, you need a step-up ring.

You can stack multiple step-up rings together to achieve a larger thread size.

How many step up rings can I use?
