How to Use Camera Lens Adapters:
Amateur photographers with SLR or DSLR cameras usually have only one or two lenses, as lenses are expensive and usually only professionals can afford to invest in a wide variety. Lens adapters provide a less expensive way to have the specialty lenses you may require, in that they allow you to do macro photography or extend the telephoto range of your lens. You can even find adapters that will allow you to alter perspective or provide special effects like light polarization. When it's time to buy, just make sure you have the right adapter to fit your camera and lens. Each manufacturer has different screw threads on the front of the lens, and rear bayonets must be the right size to couple with your camera body. Read on to learn about the different type of adapters and their applications.- Purchase a close up lense if you are photographing things like plants, insects, jewelry and maybe even food items. Close up lenses, which screw into the front of the camera lens, contain multiple elements of optical glass and are used to change the focus range of the lens. They come in different magnifications and are sometimes sold in sets. A 1X adapter will halve the focus range of your lens. If your lens could focus at 3 feet, you can now focus at 1.5 feet. With a 2X adapter you could focus .75 feet. They dramatically reduce the depth of field, as is true with all macro photography. They are also usually the least expensive accessory lenses to purchase.
- Buy telephoto adapters if you need to extend the telephoto range of the lens. These also contain multiple optical glass elements and are attached to the rear of the lens and then directly onto the camera. They are more expensive than close lenses and are very camera specific since they need to couple with the camera's autofocus and exposure mechanisms. You need to also be conscious of the weight it will add to the lens. A 2X adapter will turn a 200mm lens into a 400mm lens. It can also be used with zoom telephoto lenses. These adapters are great for sports and wildlife photography and are also used in street photography.
- Purchase an adapter that will alter the perspective of your camera in the same way a view camera does if you are doing architectural and scenic photography or any assignment where the perspective is critical. You can purchase an adapter like the one pictured at the top of this article from LensBaby (see Resources below). These adapters screw into the front of the lens and allow you to tilt the front element to alter the perspective and eliminate converging lines. Another way is to purchase a bellows like the one pictured here. This option actually provides more control since you have a bellows extension and front element tilt both available. You can always adjust perspective in post production, but you will lose some of the image in the editing process.
- Buy special effects lens adapters like the fisheye adapter (pictured here) if you need to turn your wide-angle lens into a fisheye lens. You can also find polarizing filters to minimize reflections from water and glass. Both of these adapters are useful in general photography and provide a function that cannot be achieved in post production. There are also multiple image adapters, clear spot adapters, soft focus adapters and many more. These are much less useful in the digital age since all of the special effects can be easily created in post production.
How to Install Adapter Ring:
- Screw the ring adapter onto your lens.
- Slide the filter holder on the ring adapter until it snap in place.
- Slide the filter into one of the filter holder slots which is depended by your filter's size.
Tips & Warnings
- Know your camera specifications when purchasing lens adapters.
- For the best quality, only buy adapters

02-14-2011- Other Thoughts: I've spent many hours comtemplating how to review this step-up adaptor. It changed my photographic life forever. How did I ever get along without this step-up adaptor is beyond comprehension. Just think about it, one day you own a really really good camera with a big lens size and then one day you buy a cheezy camera and instead of having to buy another lens you just get one of these step-up adapters. Wow, I can't believe the genius in this little device. I recommend the Filter Adapter Ring to everyone on the planet, especially those who take pictures.
