Century Optics +1.6 Achromatic Close-up Diopter for 86mm Thread Mount

This line of advanced Achromatic Diopters provides video zoom lenses with more close-up range and magnification, while maintaining zoom capabilities without compromising image quality.

Common single element diopters permit focusing at close camera-to-subject distances at the expense of image clarity, a pin cushioning effect occurs. Instead, Achromatic Diopters feature two highly corrected glass elements which minimize chromatic aberration and distortion, creating an image with edge-to-edge sharpness

An Achromatic Diopter is essential whenever it is necessary to focus tightly on a small subject with a long lens - in tabletop, miniature and flat field photography.

Reduced working distance offers a range of shooting possibilities. Exceptionally crisp videography of small objects like jewelry or computer chips is now possible. A variety of industrial applications are made simpler, including remote, high-magnification visual inspection of hard-to-reach objects and manufacturing processes. For example, a camera and lens equipped with an Achromatic Diopter might be used to get an extremely accurate close-up view of signatures moving through a printing press.
