To use 72 mm-thread lenses with larger filters you already own, a step-up ring screws into the lens and takes the larger filter: 72–77 mm, 72–82 mm, 72–86 mm. 72–77 mm ring 72–82 mm ring 72–86 mm ring

Filters smaller than 72 mm (58 mm, 62 mm, 67 mm) need a step-down ring, which darkens the corners on most lenses; we do not suggest it. Smaller-thread lenses can use 72 mm filters through a step-up ring: 58 mm lenses, 62 mm lenses, 67 mm lenses.
