How does it work?
ADD ON MAGNIFYING LENSES
(+0.5; +1; +1.5; +2)
Single lenses called “diopters” are “add on” optical elements that placed in front of a zoom lens, magnify objects. They offer a convenient way to increase magnification of your lens sacrificing depth of field and covered area.
It is a term used to determine the magnification capability of a lens. Each diopter increases the size of the focused object by 25%, consequently the magnification M of the object is found multiplying the diopters (n) by 0.25 and adding one (M = 0,25 n +1)
They move both, the close and far focus distance of a lens closer to the film plane, so you can get closer to small objects; the far focus also moves from infinity to a closer value.
The strength or magnification of a diopter is expressed in the 'diopter power' number. Common diopter powers are +0.5, +1 and +2; they correspond to magnification factors of 1.1x; 1.25x and 1,5x respectively.
