Elevate Your Cinematography with the Tiffen 138mm Letterbox Diopter
The Tiffen 138mm Letterbox Diopter +3/15mm is a specialized optical tool designed for cinematographers seeking to push the boundaries of traditional focus. Unlike standard diopters, the Letterbox configuration features an open 15mm slot in the center, flanked by high-quality +3 diopter glass on either side. This unique design allows for a clear central image while applying magnification and focus shifts to the top and bottom of the frame.
Versatile Visual Effects
Often described as the reverse of a Strip Diopter, this filter enables a wide range of creative possibilities for narrative and experimental projects:
- Split Focus: Maintain sharpness on a central subject while blurring or shifting focus on surrounding elements.
- Double Imaging: Create ethereal, layered visuals by manipulating light paths through the outer glass.
- Controlled Diffusion: Introduce soft focus effects selectively within the frame without losing central detail.
Built to the exacting standards of Tiffen, this 138mm filter integrates seamlessly into professional matte boxes, providing reliable performance on demanding film sets.
