PolarPro Shortstache SHIFT Filter Set - close-up lens kit

PolarPro Shortstache SHIFT Filter Set - close-up lens kit

The PolarPro Shortstache SHIFT Edition is a close-up lens kit designed in collaboration with photographer and filmmaker Garrett King (Shortstache). The set allows you to shoot significantly closer without having to change lenses. The set's optical close-up lenses reduce the minimum focusing distance of the lens and bring a precise and cinematic close-up look to your photos and videos.

The close-up lenses use high-quality, multi-coated optical glass to maintain image sharpness and natural colors. The lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum body is durable and reliable in the field. The set comes in a stylish, matte green Shortstache storage case.

Diopter powers and focusing distances

The set comes with three different strength close-up lenses that you can use to adjust the strength of your close-up photography:

• +2 Diopter: Maximum focusing distance approx. 50 cm
• +4 Diopter: Maximum focusing distance approx. 25 cm
• +8 Diopter: Maximum focusing distance approx. 12.5 cm

Size and filter threads

The PolarPro Shortstache SHIFT set is available in several sizes for traditional filter threads (49 mm – 95 mm) and a version compatible with the PolarPro Helix MagLock magnetic system. Choose the size that suits your shooting equipment based on your lens' filter thread or mounting system.
