7Artisans, maker of unusual lenses, has released a Handheld Split Diopter Filter. You can use it to add a hazy blur to your photos, among other things.

In the world of video, a split diopter lens is regularly used as a special effect. It allows you to have something in focus in both the foreground and the background. You can still work with a shallow depth of field. So you have blur between the two sharp areas.

You can also use the filter to create blurred areas or unusual bokeh in your photo.

If you're after the two focus areas, I think this is an interesting solution. Personally, I find the effect still a little minimal for the blur effects. I think you may get more use as a photographer from the Lensbaby OMNI.

The filter is available from Pergear, among others, and costs 27.95 euros.

    I do like doing something like that when I photograph flowers in the garden. And then I find a leaf that I hold in front of the lens. Then you get that effect too.
    And that's free vrolijk
