Introducing the Shift Diopter | Shortstache Edition, a close-up filter system developed for photographers and filmmakers seeking cinematic detail without changing lenses.
A filter system that enables macro photography without changing lenses
The Shift Diopter Filter Set, a close-focus filter system developed in collaboration with New York-based photographer/filmmaker Garrett King (Shortstache), is a close-focus filter system that, when attached to a lens, shortens the minimum focusing distance, enabling close-up and macro-style image creation.
Supporting both photos and videos, it offers new perspectives from the same setup, elevating everyday moments into macro-level storytelling.
Three types of diopter filters to suit a variety of scenes
The Shift Diopter filter set includes three filters: +2, +4, and +8.
Each diopter (+2 / +4 / +8) shortens the lens's minimum focusing distance depending on the shooting scene, enabling faster, closer shots without touching the lens on set, supporting expressive, textured storytelling.
Professional optical performance
Shift Diopter uses optical-grade multi-coated glass to maintain clarity and accurate color reproduction across the entire viewing angle. It is designed to smooth focus transitions and maintain clear light transmission, meeting the demands of creative professionals for professional-level clarity and sharpness.
The frame is made of lightweight, durable aerospace aluminum, providing high reliability and durability on set.
Available in 7 sizes
The Shift Diopter is available in a total of seven sizes: six screw-in sizes (49mm, 67mm, 77mm, 82mm, 86mm(C)*, 95mm(C)*), as well as PolarPro's Helix MagLock filter system, which allows for ultra-fast filter removal and installation.
*(C) means coarse thread pitch.
The set also comes with a dedicated protective case finished in Shortstache's signature matte green color.
The Shift Diopter Filter Set simplifies close-up photography, allowing you to get closer to your subject and capture the textures of fine details without having to change lenses.It brings a cinematic atmosphere, realistic textures, and story-like depth to your videos and photos, making it a powerful ally in creators' new creative expressions.
