Reverse Mount Adapter Ring KiwiFotos 55mm to 62mm SB1992 for Lens-to-Filter Size Conversion

The KiwiFotos Reverse Mount Adapter Ring 55mm to 62mm (model SB1992) is a metal adapter that converts a 55mm lens thread to a 62mm thread for reverse lens mounting and filter-system compatibility. Designed for photographers who want to use a lens mounted backwards on a camera body or to attach a lens to accessories with a 62mm thread, this adapter enables closer focusing distances and increased magnification for macro photography and creative perspectives. The adapter is constructed from metal to provide a stable connection between lens and camera or filter accessory.

Advantages

This reverse mount adapter offers a simple mechanical conversion from 55mm to 62mm threads without optical elements, preserving lens characteristics while enabling reverse mounting. Its metal construction gives reliable durability and a secure fit that reduces play and wobble. The adapter is compact and lightweight, allowing easy inclusion in a photographer’s kit for on-location macro work or experimental shooting. By enabling reverse mounting, it expands the creative options of existing lenses without requiring specialized macro optics.

Suitable for

• Close-up and macro photography using reversed lenses
• Attaching a 55mm-thread lens to accessories or filter systems with a 62mm thread
• Creative perspective and detail shots where increased magnification is required

Key specifications

• Input thread size: 55mm (lens side)
• Output thread size: 62mm (accessory/filter side)
• Material: metal construction for durability and secure fit
• Function: mechanical thread adapter for reverse mounting—no optics included
• Compatibility: designed for lenses and accessories with corresponding thread sizes

How to use

Screw the adapter onto the front of a lens with a 55mm filter thread until it seats securely. Once attached, mount the reversed lens by aligning and securing the adapter’s 62mm thread to the camera body’s corresponding accessory or to a filter holder that accepts 62mm threads. Ensure the connection is firm before shooting and support the lens when used in reverse to avoid strain on the camera mount. Manual focus and aperture control (if available on the lens) are typically required when shooting in reverse-mount configuration.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter with lenses that have manual aperture control or be prepared to use stop-down metering. Support the reversed lens during handheld use or use a tripod to reduce camera shake when working at high magnification. Check for vignetting and adjust working distance and composition accordingly; extension tubes or focusing rails may further enhance precision in macro setups.
