PolarPro Shortstache SHIFT Filter Set 67mm – Close-Focus Diopters for Cinematic Detail Without Changing Lenses

The Shortstache SHIFT Edition is a precision-built close-focus filter system designed for photographers and filmmakers who want cinematic detail without changing lenses. It reduces the minimum focus distance so you can get closer to your subject quickly and without touching your lens.

Each optical-grade diopter in the set shortens the lens’ minimum focusing range. Consequently, you can capture tighter framing and finer detail while maintaining your current lens and setup. The system supports fast swaps and field use with durable materials and a protective case.

Key features

• Three Strengths (+2 / +4 / +8): Choose the diopter strength that matches your scene to control depth and intensity. The set includes three graduated strengths so you can dial in the amount of close-focus effect you need.
• Helix MagLock Mount: A magnetic quick-swap system that enables fast, tool-free setups. This mount lets you change diopters rapidly, minimizing downtime on set or in the field.
• Optical-Grade Multi-Coated Glass: Maintains sharpness and true color across all diopter strengths. The coatings help preserve image quality when you move closer to your subject.
• Threaded Options (49–95 mm): Available thread sizes cover a wide range of lenses, making the system compatible with most lens front threads within this range.
• Lightweight Aerospace Aluminum Build: Constructed for durability and reliability in the field. The lightweight aluminum materials make the filters easy to handle during long shoots.
• Shortstache Matte-Green Case: Compact, protective, and built for travel. The case stores the diopters safely and keeps them organized between shoots.
