To use 52 mm-thread lenses with larger filters you already own, a step-up ring screws into the lens and takes the larger filter: 52–55 mm, 52–58 mm, 52–62 mm. 52–55 mm ring 52–58 mm ring 52–62 mm ring

Filters smaller than 52 mm (43 mm, 46 mm, 49 mm) need a step-down ring, which darkens the corners on most lenses; we do not suggest it. Smaller-thread lenses can use 52 mm filters through a step-up ring: 43 mm lenses, 46 mm lenses, 49 mm lenses.
