Compare the ProMaster Macro Ring P in 62mm, 72mm, and 82mm sizes. Find out which ring light fits your lens and budget for close-up photography.
Quick answer
Choose the 62mm or 72mm ProMaster Macro Ring P for common lens filter threads; pick the 82mm if you use large-diameter lenses. All three offer the same ring-light design at similar low prices.
Size matters for your lens thread
The ProMaster Macro Ring P comes in three thread sizes: 62mm, 72mm, and 82mm. Your lens's filter thread diameter determines which one fits. Check the front of your lens for the Ø symbol followed by the millimeter size — that's your number.
If you own multiple lenses with different thread sizes, consider buying two ring lights instead of using step-up rings, which can block the flash output on some macro setups.
Trade-offs at a glance
- 62mm size: Best for standard 62mm filter threads. Price is low, but may not fit larger lenses without a step-up ring. Check your lens thread before buying.
- 72mm size: Fits many mid-range telephoto and macro lenses. The cheapest option at USD 6.37, but not for small or very large threads.
- 82mm size: Accommodates large-diameter lenses. Slightly more expensive at USD 7.36, but essential for wide-aperture or professional glass. Verify your lens thread size to avoid returns.
