Adapterring Set für Rechteckfilter: So funktioniert's

Quick answer

The Rollei F:X Pro adapter ring set connects your filter holder to lenses with different filter thread sizes. Mount it correctly to avoid light leaks and vignetting.

Mounting the adapter ring set – step by step

1. Identify your lens thread size: Check the front of your lens for the filter thread diameter (e.g., 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm). Select the corresponding adapter ring from the set. Common mistake: Using a step-up ring instead of the correct adapter ring can cause the holder to sit crooked.
2. Screw the adapter ring onto the lens: Align the threads carefully and turn clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten – finger-tight is sufficient. Checkpoint: Ensure the ring is fully seated and parallel to the lens front element before proceeding.
3. Attach the filter holder to the adapter ring: Slide the holder’s mounting plate onto the adapter ring’s rail or bayonet (depending on your holder model). Push until you hear a click or feel it lock. Common mistake: Forgetting to lock the holder can cause it to slide off when tilting the camera.
4. Test for light leaks and vignetting: Look through the viewfinder or live view at a bright sky. Check for light entering between the adapter ring and the lens, or dark corners in the frame. Adjust if needed. If you see light leaks, try a thin layer of black electrical tape around the adapter ring joint.
