Brass step up rings

So I have just purchased a 16 stop filter and I will need to purchase at least 1 step up ring, can I ask (after a few hours personal research), are heliopan the only reliable brass constructor of such rings? I have reviewed the Dublin camera stores for step up rings and have found them sadly lacking in providing quality items of this nature. What recommendations would you have for step up rings from your experience, in particular B+W, as they seem to be the only other reputable for these items (though I have read some horror stories of those aluminium rings)?

Thanks for any feedback.

Regards,

Dave.

Have been using Heliopan and B+W filters for years. Both superb brands as good as each other.

Have also been using step up rings for years. I don’t buy brass step up rings. I just got the cheapest ones I could get from ebay for my lenses.

Never really had much problems with the brass filters sticking to the cheap step up rings to be honest (a quick bang against a table loosens the ring from the filter I find most of the time).

Up to you but I wouldn’t spend allot of money on step up rings, aluminium is fine, spend the money on good B+W or Heliopan filters…
