Hi everyone

Before talk I about the adapters a shout out for the company that supplied them RIGU and its owner Andrew Bowness. Rigu is a UK company with a great range of camera accessories. As a Brit I always try and support UK businesses such as Rigu, Bowman Leather straps and Billingham bags. I’ve experienced exemplary service, great communication, fast, efficient dispatch and excellent quality products. from all these companies. It’s refreshingly nice in today’s day and age of “couldn’t care less/kick the can down the road” service which can often feel like its become the norrn. to buy from companies such as these that actually care about the quality of their products, their reputation and their customers’ satisfaction and I’m more than happy to buy from them again without reservation. When I find companies such as these then I have and I will go back to them if I require more of their products, safe in the knowledge that I’ve been treated courteously, received quality products and efficient service from them.

Now for the review bit.

The adapters come in two parts, a ring which screws onto the lens, another ring which screws on to the filter thread and a magnetic lens cap is available as an option, all available separately which is great if one wants to buy an extra ring or cap at any time . I ordered four of each adapter rings to fit my most used lenses and filters as well as four lens caps. It’s also worth mentioning that the lens cap has a thread so it will screw onto a filter’s external thread if desired. They come in different filter thread sizes and I got the 58mm size as that’s my standardised filter size. What helps to set these aside from other makes is the very reasonable price. One can pay a lot of money for what is essentially the same thing from the leading filter manufactures. My main concern with this type of thing is, how strong are the magnets and could I trust them to hold my expensive filters securely without fretting that the filter might drop off at any minute. To test this I fitted one of my heavier filters and then held the camera above the bed and shook it about a bit and the filter stayed put so I have confidence that unless I do something stupid 🙂 , the filter will be held securely, Rigu have an excellent guide to the fitting and use of the adapters which covers pretty much all one’s questions on their website and Andrew promptly e-mailed me with helpful information which I regard as great communication, he obviously takes a pride in the goods that they supply.. I don’t have much more to add except if you’re looking for magnetic filter adapters then check them out, save yourself some money and support a small business.. With free delivery on UK orders, 14-day returns and quantity discounts it makes ordering from them an even more attractive option.

As always, this post is entirely my own opinions, not in any way solicited and I’m not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned in the post and the products have been paid for out of my own money for my personal use.
