[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 518839, member: 11881"] My wife and I shop quite often from an app called Wish. You can also access them from their website Wish.com. They sell a lot of stuff direct out of China for prices that are stupid cheap and the shipping is unbelievably cheap. When shopping on the site I don't purchase things that I need a quality item. For example, if I need a quality screwdriver that isn't going to bend I buy from Craftsman, Snap-on, etc... But if I need a simple crescent wrench then I will buy the off brand. This same logic applies to Wish. With that out of the way, let me tell you what you NEED as a photographer. On wish, link below, they sell a complete set of step up and step down filter rings from 82mm through 37mm for the cost of $16. At my local store one ring is about $10. I ordered two sets and they are now less in quality than the $10 per ring adapters.
