If you change filters while shooting, this system is for you! Once the adapter rings are in place, changing filters is super fast & fool proof. One adapter is need for each filter but only one adapter is needed per lens. If you get these, you’ll be happy you did.

The other (**) reviewer needs to read and understand the description. This filter holder, screwed onto a filter, then attaches magnetically to a second ring, a Lens Adapter, screwed into the filter threads on the lens. You then can quickly detach and reattach your filter via the magnets, no more hasty fiddling to align finicky threads. Manfrotto needs to complete their product line. When that's done, they'll have magnetic lens caps (currently one, 77mm) and magnetic filters, eliminating the need for the filter holders and reducing the thickness of the stack of gadgets on top of the lens. That will address the products' one serious drawback, that they cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses. Properly marketed, this technology has the potential to become a universal standard, used on all filters, caps and even lenses. I hope Manfrotto understands that.

The Xume 67mm (2.63") Filter Holder is a precision-machined metal ring that attaches to a 67mm circular screw-in filter to provide instant and secure attachment to lenses when a Xume Lens Adapter is installed. NdFeB rare Earth magnets are integrated within lens adapters to attach to the filter holder to and provide a strong, but easy to remove, connection that is suitable for use with oft-used filters. By using quick-to-remove magnets to attach filters, changing of filters can occur much more quickly and eliminates the chance of cross-threading or jamming when installing or removing filters.
The ring is approximately the same thickness as most step-rings and will not cause vignetting on most lenses with focal lengths as wide as 24mm (35mm equivalent). Over-the-lens type lens hoods are still compatible when Xume Adapters and Holders are in place and are recommended during use to provide an even more assured connection if working in busy environments.
