To use 55 mm-thread lenses with larger filters you already own, a step-up ring screws into the lens and takes the larger filter: 55–58 mm, 55–62 mm, 55–67 mm. 55–58 mm ring 55–62 mm ring 55–67 mm ring

Filters smaller than 55 mm (46 mm, 49 mm, 52 mm) need a step-down ring, which darkens the corners on most lenses; we do not suggest it. Smaller-thread lenses can use 55 mm filters through a step-up ring: 46 mm lenses, 49 mm lenses, 52 mm lenses.
