A split diopter is a standard diopter element precision-cut in half and mounted in the ring. It creates a shot with two planes of focus rather than one. It makes a sharp image of the foreground (captured through the diopter) and background (captured through the uncovered half of your camera’s lens).

• Can be used in matte boxes
