So I bought a clamp-on matte box with a 95mm opening, but my lens diameter is 82mm. I figure no problem, I can snag an 82mm-95mm step-up ring and voila- working matte box.
wrong.
Got the step-up ring today, and it's designed to let you use 95mm accessories on your 82mm lens, so the INSIDE diameter is 95mm, but the OUTSIDE diameter is larger than 95mm!!!
I can return the adapter, but I need to find a fix with an outer diameter of 95mm that will allow me to mount this matte box onto my lens. Please help!
