Co-developed by PolarPro and Shortstache, this new SHIFT Diopter Set is a precision-built close-up filter system that can bring some pretty sick cinematography options.

We admit it, we’re suckers for unique lens filters. You got us. Just revealed by PolarPro, these new SHIFT Diopters are a collaboration with Shortstache and are designed for filmmakers, photographers, or any creative individuals looking for cinematic detail without—you know—actually changing their lenses.

These optical-grade diopters can help reduce the minimum focusing distance needed to turn your everyday moments into macro-level shots. Available in both Helix MagLock and threaded versions, there should be plenty of options available for you to consider upgrading your shots with better speed, clarity, and control.

If minimum focus distance has been more your enemy than your friend lately, these SHIFT diopters might be a nice option to help out with your anamorphic lens projects. Capable of providing tight, intentional detail without changing lenses, these SHIFT diopters aim to redefine what’s possible with your existing lenses.

The diopters will feature optical-grade multi-coated glass, clean close-focus performance, and three strengths to shape depth and texture. The aforementioned Helix MagLock mount will also help with fast swaps in the field, while the threaded options should further keep the system universal.

Overall, these diopters should be quite lightweight and durable, and helpful for those who simply want more from the lenses that they already use and trust.

Price and Availability

The PolarPro x Shortstache SHIFT Diopters will come in seven different filter size options, ranging from 49mm to 95mm and Helix. You can find more info on individuals or set prices on the company’s website here.
