Yeah, I'm surprised that split diopters are so hard to come by. I do have a set of regular cheapo diopters that I rarely use, so, more than once, I've wondered if I should just attack them with my Dremel powertool, cut the glass in half and see how hard they really can be to make. I've not done that yet though... Because... Yknow. It'll very probably cravk and shatter in ways I don't want.
It's good of you to post a video to educate folks, but just to pull you up on something - this Viltrox design is not unique as you say: both Leica and Zeiss each make/made a set of diopters (Macrolux and Master Diopters, respectively). These Viltrox diopters are a pretty direct copy of both of those - albeit the Master Diopters were Achromat design, and the Macrolux diopters are available in two sizes (114m and 95mm - so actually better for exactly what you asked for in this video).
The outro song haha!! XD
Haha amazing!! what is that song at the end???
also great video,
great video!!! I learned alot i have used the vivitar they are good but so bad when you see what good glass is like haha.
@@harryedwards528 thanks yeah the difference is crazy hey!
These really should have lens supports as you said. Otherwise they are very impressive.
@@geoffreybassett6741 yes I agree it’s a glaring issue. I’m considering trying to buy some and glueing them on with metal glue.
What lens are you using for filming yourself brotha that bokeh looks creaaaamy

@@jmalmsten ha ha that seems pretty risky to me honestly I would go to a professional glass cutter if you’re going to do it!

@@RumpleMatt oh that’s super interesting. We haven’t heard of either of them before. I will give them a look. Thank you for letting me know!
