Step-up rings for the 1 Nikkor 10-30mm VR

Vince

Hello everyone! Am just a newbie in this forum but have been shooting for around three years already. Anyways, I just want to ask your opinions regarding putting step-up rings on the 10-30mm kit lens.

I know that the 10-30mm has a 40.5mm filter size and I want to put in a 52mm step up ring to it to standardize it with the other filters that I currently have. Still, the availability of 40.5 to 52mm step-up rings are quite rare locally.

My concern is that will it vignette if I stack a 40.5 to 46mm step up ring, a 46mm to 52mm step up ring and a filter (CPL, ND) when I dial into the 10mm end?

Also, it got me thinking, when I do acquire a 40.5 to 52mm and dial it to the 10mm end with a filter on, will it vignette also?

Sorry for the newbie questions. It's because it's the first time I got a chance to get my hands on the CX format of Nikon.

Thank you so much in advanced for your insights regarding this.

Cheers!

Why not mock it up with some gaffers tape? You can fold it back on itself lengthwise to create a sticky and non-sticky part, then wrap around the front of your lens. See how far you can go before it vignettes.
