Professional optical tools are one of core competencies, and IB/E Optics have taken great lengths to provide cinematographers with a complete set of high quality diopters housed in standard 4 x 5.65" frames that slide quickly and easily into any top-loaded and side-loaded matte box (Arri, Chrosziel, etc.) since the handle can be mounted either on top or sideways. IB/E Optics understand how important time is on the set, and working with tradition round diopters and donuts can be time consuming, and they believe our solution not only saves time on the set, but it also provides Directors of Photography with new creative opportunities. They used expensive, high-end glass to create these thin, rectangular diopters.+0.5 and +0.8  diopters uses single filter slot and +2 diopters uses double filter slots. The  Standard  Diopter  Set  consists  of  three  diopters  with  magnification  strengths  of  +0.5,  +0.8  and  +2.0.
