Shift your thinking for close-ups
Posted on Feb 1, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker
Filter innovator Polarpro has recently unveiled a set of +2, +4 and +8 dioptres created in partnership with filmmaker Shortstache
Designed to help you move quickly from wide scenes to ultra-close macro-style shots, the Shift filters slash the minimum focus distance without needing to swap lenses.
Each dioptre uses optical-grade glass with Polarpro’s Chroma Film technology to deliver colour neutrality.
Available in Polarpro’s magnetic Helix Maglock system and traditional threaded mounts, every set comes with a travel case. US prices start from $150 depending on size and fit, but UK prices have not yet been set.
