Works Well With

Two Focus Planes.
One Vision.

Built for Layered Storytelling

Create compositions with added tension and subject emphasis. The Split focal plane allows you to layer in additional dimension over your basic lens stack to evoke tension and subject emphasis to the viewer.

More Depth from your Lens

Split 50 gives you the ability to shape how a viewer experiences a scene by guiding attention across multiple layers. When two moments can exist at once, you can create contrast, alignment, or tension.
