Description +
Get closer to your subject without sacrificing optical performance. Revar Cine Close Up Diopters enable you to dramatically reduce near-focus distances on large cinema and photography lenses while maintaining edge sharpness and image clarity. Perfect for anamorphic lenses, which typically suffer from long minimum focus distances, these diopters allow you to cut your focus distance by as much as half.
Available in industry-standard 138mm round and versatile 82mm screw-in sizes, these diopters integrate seamlessly into cinema matte boxes, drop-in trays, or directly onto lens front threads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our 138mm Diopters require a 138mm filter holder either as a rear stage donut or trays from Arri, Bright Tangerine or Revar Cine Double/Triple trays. Most trays take up two stages of a 4x5.65 Matte Box making 138mm rear donut mounting ideal for adding additional filtration. The +3 requires either a Triple Tray or rear donut mount.
Our diopters are currently available in 138mm and 82mm.
Depending on your application, the best strength can vary. If you are after close shots at least half of the minimum focus distance of your lens, then the +2 is most popular. If you are looking to get just a little bit closer with Anamorphic lenses, the +0.50 is popular giving you the ability to go from mid-range to head and shoulders type shots easily.
