Tiffen 138mm Split Field Diopter +1

 

    Split Diopters are an incredible tool that help you enhance depth-of-field. They allow for more of the scene to be in total focus simultaneously. These diopters are semi-circular pieces of glass that are mounted in ring form. They can be rotated in a Matte-Box to achieve the desired effect.


    The 138 mm +1 Split-Field Diopter Lens shortens the close-focusing distance of normal fixed focal length or zoom lenses. This allows the camera to focus closer to the subject and achieve a larger image size while bringing out the sharpest details in even the tiniest subjects.



    Diopters are the simplest and least expensive method of close-up photography. Have you ever wished that your lens could focus closer than it does? Imagine that you could put a magnifying glass in front of your camera's lens. With Diopters, you can dive into the world of macrophotography with a minimum of expense and with a maximum of confidence.



    Shoot your stamps, flowers in your garden, your jewelry collection and many other items. If you're thinking of insuring your collectibles, why not have a means of doing it without having to hire an expensive pro? Close-up lenses not only give you creative freedom to help show you a world up close that you never imagined, but also serve as a functional and valuable tool to safeguard your possessions.



    Split-Field Diopters are the ultimate tool to enhance depth of field. Diopters permit more of the scene to be in total focus simultaneously. Split-Field lenses are often used to increase depth of field in pictures shot with anamorphic lenses.



    Split-Field diopters are semi-circular, single element close-up lenses mounted in a precision crafted metal ring.



    These lenses can be used individually or in any combination to achieve ultra-close focus

    The maximum magnification achieved with these attachments will depend on the focal length of your lens as well as the actual close focusing capability of that particular lens

    A +1 close-up lens will allow you to focus your lens somewhat closer than it already does; A +2 close-up lens will allow you to focus closer than the +1; A +4 lens will allow you to focus even closer than a +2

    A +1 combined with a +2 will equal a +3, while a +2 combined with a +4 will equal a +6, and so on

    Pick-Up Discrepancies


    Orders made during our closed hours will not be processed until the next morning that we are open and therefore will allow for some discrepancies.

     

    We share our inventory between our Orem and Salt Lake City store and do our best to have equipment in the location that you wish to pick up. Consequently, last minute orders cannot be guaranteed to be all in one location as we are not given time to prep.

     

     

    Credit Card on File in Case of Damage

     

    A Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover Card may be kept on file. This agreement authorizes Red Finch Rental to use the card on file for any loss or damage to the equipment rented. A valid state issued ID is required.

     

      

    Insurance is Not Provided

     

    The renter of equipment accepts full liability for any loss or cost of repair. Renters are required to provide proof of insurance naming Red Finch Rental as addition insured and loss payee. To purchase insurance, contact a provider like athosinsurance.com.

     

     

    Renter's Responsibilities

     

    All rental equipment is checked by our staff to ensure proper working conditions prior to leaving the premises. Red Finch Rental must be notified immediately in the case of equipment difficulties at 801-360-3855. Failure to do so may result in full rental charge.  Red Finch Rental assumes no liability for equipment failure and/or availability. The renter is responsible for the proper care and operation of the equipment as well as the return of all included accessories. 

     

    A $50 cleaning fee will be charged for equipment that is returned dirty.

     

    If excessive cleaning is required, additional fees may be assessed to the discretion of Red Finch Rental Employees. Please do not remove filters from lenses. They are there for your protection.

     

    Cancellations

    If a rental is under $100 and is cancelled up to a week before the pick-up date is scheduled there will be no penalty and a full refund if necessary. However, if the rental is over $100 and cancelled up to a week before the pick-up, the renter will be required to pay 10% of the original payment. 

     

    Any rentals cancelled within the week before pick-up will be required to pay 20% of the original payment or receive store credit in place of a refund.

     

    Cancellation of any multi-week rentals within the week before pick-up will either be charged 20% of the original payment or can have Red Finch Rental keep their full payment as in-store credit to be used at a later date.

     

    If the rental equipment has been picked up, cancellations or early returns will not result in a refund of money or any discounts.
