Quick answer

For attaching standard 52mm filters or lenses directly to your SeaLife DC2000 or DC1400, get the DC-Series 52mm Lens/Filter Adapter. If you need to use larger 67mm accessories, add the 52-67mm Step-up Ring.

Why you might need a step-up ring

The 52mm Lens/Filter Adapter lets you attach any 52mm threaded accessory directly to your DC-series camera. But not all underwater lenses and filters come in 52mm thread size. If you already own or prefer 67mm lenses (common for wide-angle and macro), the 52-67mm Step-up Ring bridges that gap without replacing your adapter.

Compatibility note

Both accessories work with SeaLife DC2000, DC1400, and all previous DC-series cameras. The step-up ring also mounts to the SportDiver Lens Adapter (sold separately), giving you more flexibility if you switch housings later.

Decision rules for your adapter choice

  • You only need 52mm filters or lenses: Buy just the DC-Series 52mm Lens/Filter Adapter (SL977). It snaps onto your DC-series camera and accepts any standard 52mm threaded accessory.
  • You want to use 67mm lenses or filters: Add the 52-67mm Step-up Ring (SL978) on top of the 52mm adapter. This combination lets you attach 67mm accessories while keeping the original adapter as your base.
  • You might switch to a SportDiver housing later: The step-up ring also fits the SportDiver Lens Adapter (SL081, sold separately). Buying both now future-proofs your setup for housing upgrades. Check whether your housing or tray already includes a lens adapter before ordering extra pieces.
