Step up or down?

I think you want "step up" rings. One store I've dealt with

in the past and which (as you might guess from the name) knows

all about filters is The Filter Connection (P.O. Box 155 South Windham, CT 06266 203-456-3990). Their prices are fair and they are quite

willing to chat on the phone. They either stock or can get you

any kind of filter or adaptor. They stock several brands of

step up/down rings of various qualities, materials and prices.

The ring is labeled from the perspective of the lens, as opposed to the perspective of the filters, so it is a step "up" ring. It steps the lens filter thread up from 52mm to 62mm so that you can use the 62mm filters.

These kinds of items are incredibly inexpensive, even in local camera stores. I bought one to allow me to use 77mm filters with a 72mm filter thread lens and it cost about $10 at the local camera store. If I'd bought it through the mail, the shipping would have been nearly that much, even with a good vendor like B&H. Give your local camera store the business. :-)
