A step-up adapter ring is designed to allow photographers to fit a larger filter size onto a lens with a smaller filter thread diameter, expanding the range of filters that can be used with their existing lenses.
You need to know the filter thread size of your lens. If your lens has a 49mm filter thread size, the Step-Up Adapter Ring 49mm Lens to 55mm Filter Size will fit your lens and allow you to use 55mm filters.
The adapter ring itself should not affect image quality as it merely serves as a connection between your lens and the filter. However, the quality of the filter you attach can influence the final image.
Yes, the adapter ring is designed with good threading to be easily screwed onto your lens and removed when not needed, without requiring any additional tools.
While it is possible to stack multiple step-up rings, it's not generally recommended as it may cause vignetting and make it harder to access the lens controls or remove the rings.

I received this step-up adapter as ordered including brand and original packaging unopened unlike the other two adapters I received. It works; no problems.

I had three Hoya 55mm filters sitting around from when I owned a Canon camcorder...decades ago. I discovered this inexpensive adapter and bingo, I now can use them on my Sony/Zeiss Sonnar® T* FE 55 mm F1.8 ZA. I feel great about this addition to my camera bag.
