Proper installation ensures secure attachment and optimal performance. Follow these steps to attach the step-down ring to your lens and then to your desired filter or accessory.

2.1 Identifying Thread Sizes

Before attachment, confirm the filter thread size of your lens and the accessory you intend to use. The ProMaster 67mm-62mm Step-Down Ring has a 67mm male thread (to attach to the lens) and a 62mm female thread (to attach the filter/accessory).

• Lens Thread Size: Locate the ⌀ (diameter) symbol or a number followed by 'mm' on the front of your lens or its lens cap. This should be 67mm for this step-down ring.
• Filter/Accessory Thread Size: Check the rim of your filter or the specifications of your accessory. This should be 62mm.

2.2 Attaching to Your Lens

1. Ensure both your lens's filter thread and the step-down ring's male thread are clean and free of dust or debris.
2. Align the 67mm male thread of the step-down ring with the 67mm female thread on the front of your camera lens.
3. Gently rotate the step-down ring clockwise until it catches the threads. Continue to turn smoothly until it is finger-tight. Avoid over-tightening, which can make removal difficult.

2.3 Attaching Filter/Accessory

1. With the step-down ring securely attached to your lens, take your 62mm filter or accessory.
2. Align the male thread of the filter/accessory with the 62mm female thread on the step-down ring.
3. Gently rotate the filter/accessory clockwise until it catches the threads. Turn until it is finger-tight.
