Reuse for less

I bought a mirrorless SLR and the lens filter size is only 40.5mm. Using step rings instead allows me to use some of my older bigger filters for less.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do

The B+W step-up rings seem somewhat more solidly-made than some generic versions, and have a very nicely-done anti-reflective matt finish on the inside (which is important to avoid reflections between the front face of the ring and the back side of the filter); some of the generic ones have a much shinier paint job all over. B+W rings also feature a chamfer on the inner edge which helps avoid vignetting in cases where the field of view of the lens is very wide, and the outer front edge is bevelled and serrated to give a better grip when swapping filters. For such a simple device, it's obvious some thought has gone into these things. They do look nice too, if that's a consideration!
