Holiday Small Ring Set: Creative Accessory Guide

Learn what the Lensbaby Holiday Small Ring Set does, who it's for, and how to use it with your existing OMNI system for creative effects on smaller lenses.
Quick answer
The Holiday Small Ring Set lets you attach OMNI effect wands to smaller-diameter lenses, but it does not include any wands itself. Buy it only if you already own the OMNI Creative Filter System or an expansion pack.
Why size matters for OMNI effects
The OMNI Creative Filter System is designed for lenses with larger thread sizes. If you own a compact prime or a smaller zoom, the standard rings won't fit securely. The Holiday Small Ring Set solves that by providing smaller adapter rings that match common thread sizes on smaller lenses.
Because the set is sized for smaller lenses, it won't work on full-frame or larger-diameter optics. Always check your lens thread size (not focal length) before buying.
What you get (and what you don't)
The Holiday Small Ring Set contains only the metal adapter rings. No effect wands are included. The wands are part of the OMNI Creative Filter System and the Crystal and Color Expansion Packs.
If you are new to the OMNI system, you need to start with the full Creative Filter System or an expansion pack. The Small Ring Set is strictly an accessory for users who already have wands.
Decision rules for the Holiday Small Ring Set
- Check your lens thread size: Measure the thread diameter printed on your lens (e.g., 52mm, 58mm, 67mm). The Small Ring Set fits smaller sizes that the standard OMNI rings do not cover. If your lens thread is larger than 72mm, this set will not fit.
- Confirm you own OMNI wands: The set contains only rings. Without at least one effect wand from the OMNI Creative Filter System, Crystal Pack, or Color Expansion Pack, the rings have no function. Do not buy this set as a standalone OMNI starter kit.
- Decide if you need multiple small lenses: If you regularly switch between two or three small-diameter lenses, the ring set saves you from constantly swapping a single adapter. If you only use one small lens, a single ring from the set may suffice. Consider whether a single ring (if available separately) meets your needs.
Product facts
- Holiday Small Ring Set: Designed for those who already own a Small OMNI Creative Filter System, and other accessories for cameras, the Small Ring Sets allow you to use the effect wands on your smaller lenses. They do NOT include any Effect Wands. You must already own wands from the OMNI system or an expansion pack; this set only adds ring compatibility for smaller lenses.
