The Schneider 138 mm +2 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 Schneider 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.
To prevent the optical element from rattling or coming loose, Schneider
first fits the glass to the mount with great precision and then locks
it firmly in place with a state-of-the-art sealant.

Filters, like all crafted optics, are susceptible not only to breakage, but to premature aging caused by environmental factors. Most filters are made up of several layers of materials consisting of glass, dyes, optical cements, chemical compounds, particles etc. Even with protective measures employed, there are many factors that can still affect the longevity of the filter: moisture (prolonged exposure to humidity), excessive heat and excessive light are the most common environmental causes that can affect the filter’s chemistry over time.
To protect your filters and keep them in great working condition for a long time (along with the rest of your camera gear) we recommend making sure to keep the filters stored in a dark, cool, and dry place when not in use. The use of filter pouches or specialized cases will also keep your filters safe from breakage when not in use. If you are in a humid environment, the addition of fresh silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in the room they are stored is also highly recommended. Protecting your filters as you would your camera lenses will ensure many years of use of your filters.
What do you recommend cleaning filters with?
Hand blower first, if it's just light dust,that usually handles it. If you need to clean further, a Kim Wipe sprayed with Tiffen/Pancro Lens Cleaner, work in a circular motion from the middle out.
