Stefano Stroppa Share Posted May 16, 2015 Is there such a filter that allows you to focus only on small part of the frame, (not necessarily in the middle, using a very wide lens (and working with f/stop around 2.8)? any experience with any of these filters? the scene is the following: frontal shot of the nurse holding a big siring, I want to focus on the big distorted needle in the very foreground, blurring the rest of the image, and being able to rack focus to the character. Can I do it with a filter on set and not in post? thank you so much :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Dunn Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Or a split dioptre, which is half a closeup lens. The rest of the filter mount is empty. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-4-5-DIOPTER-SPLIT-1-2-Schneider-Filter-Close-Up-Filters-4-1-2-Tiffen-/350724117593?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51a8c95459 Or a macro lens which will focus very close then rack out. The "very wide lens" you speak of may focus close enough anyway. Edited May 16, 2015 by Mark Dunn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
