I have close up diopter lenses that are 52mm size that I used with my old camera and I want to know if there are step up/down rings out there that I can 'step down' from 58mm to 52mm.

For example, I use a 58mm CPL with my 30mm/1.4 which has a 62mm thread with no vignetting problems. 7D | 350D | Speedlite 430EX

It may go away when you stop the lens down but no guaranties. Just take the camera and lens into the camera store and try it out with a step down ring. 60D, Canon 18-135 IS, Sigma 10-20 hsm, 24-70 2.8 hsm, 70-200 2.8 hsm, 430EX II, and all the other stuff that goes along with it.
