The Schneider Cinefilter Close Up Diopter Full +1/2 - 4.5 tum Round is a versatile and high-quality accessory for filmmakers and cinematographers. Diopters are optical elements that are used to enhance close-up shots by allowing the camera to focus on subjects at a closer distance than the lens would typically allow. The Schneider Cinefilter Close Up Diopter is specifically designed to provide excellent image quality while maintaining the integrity of the original lens.
The diopter is labeled as "Full +1/2 - 4.5" tum, which refers to its optical power. The term "tum" is a unit of measurement in cinematography and is roughly equivalent to 0.04 inches or 1.016 millimeters. The diopter's power range, from +1/2 to -4.5, allows for a wide range of close-up focusing options. The positive diopter values (e.g., +1/2) enable closer focusing distances, while the negative values (e.g., -4.5) allow for extended focus ranges, ideal for shooting larger objects or scenes.
The Schneider Cinefilter Close Up Diopter is round in shape and has a diameter of 4.5 tum. This size ensures compatibility with a variety of lenses and lens adapters, making it a flexible tool for filmmakers working with different camera setups. The round shape also helps maintain consistent image quality across the frame, without any noticeable distortion or aberrations.
One of the key advantages of the Schneider Cinefilter Close Up Diopter is its high-quality construction. Schneider Optics, a renowned manufacturer of professional optical products, ensures that this diopter is crafted with precision and attention to detail. The optical elements are made from top-grade materials to minimize any loss of image quality, including chromatic aberrations or softness.
Using the Schneider Cinefilter Close Up Diopter is relatively straightforward. It can be attached to the front of a compatible lens using a matte box or filter holder. Once attached, the diopter allows the lens to focus at a much closer distance than before, enabling detailed close-up shots with increased magnification.
Overall, the Schneider Cinefilter Close Up Diopter Full +1/2 - 4.5 tum Round is an excellent tool for filmmakers and cinematographers seeking to capture stunning close-up shots. Its versatile power range, high-quality construction, and compatibility with various lenses make it a valuable addition to any professional or enthusiast's camera gear.
