No, not mandatory, but the correct rings ensure the SB-21 flash head is seated securely and firmly to the lens.

Step rings have a less efficient form factor to hold the SB-21. But using them is doable, with some precautions.

These Nikon Speedlight manuals downloadable from Nikon Canada might be helpful...

Scroll down half way for the beginning of the English section of the SB-21 Manual.

Also if the lens you wish to use the SB-21 with is an AF or AF-D 60/2.8 Micro-Nikkor a Nikon Adapter UR-3 is available new from B&H Photo USA on special order for $30.00 (USD). The Nikon UR-3 should be available from other suppliers and in various countries.

Perhaps something here will help,
