Q: 6. What is the difference between this diopter and this one listed for $20 less BH #LI4565DIO12 ?

A: The main difference with the two Lindsey Optics 4 x 5.65" diopters is the focus distance supported by each model. With diopters, the strength is in the number. Diopter strength is from 1/2, 1, 2, 3, and 4. They are set up so that you mount the diopter 1 on the lens, place the lens focus to Infinity and the diopter then focuses the lens a 1 meter. Further more 1/2 means it is focused at 2 meters.  BH #LI45651BTS is 1 BH #LI4565DIO12 is 1/2

Q: 7. What is the difference between this and the studio version?

A: The difference is that the Lindsey Optics Brilliant² 4 x 5.65" +3 Diopter Tray Mount Studio Close-Up Lens has a stainless steel post threaded into the handle. This makes it easer to reach the handle when the tray mount close-up lens is used in a Studio style matte box. For lightweight clip-on matte boxes the post is not necessary. The glass is the same in both versions, the tray dimensions are the same in both versions.

Q: 8. Can the diopter itself be removed from the 4x5" tray and used in a standard open 138mm round stage?

A: According to Lindsay Optics, yes, you could remove the glass, but the glass outside of the tray has no metal ring. This will cause difficult mounting issues as well as subjugating the filter to very possible damage. In other words, it is not at all recommended.

Q: 9. How far does the near object has to be from the lens, compared to a +1 diopter ?

A: When the base lens is focused at infinity, the object will be at the focal length of the diopter attachment. For the Lindsey Optics 4 x 5.65" +3 Diopter Brilliant² 50% Rota-Split Close-Up Lens that is 333mm. For the +1 it is 1 Meter. When the base lens focus is changed to shorter distances, the object distance decreases.

Q: 10. Would this work in the Tilta mb-t12 mattebox?

A: This is a 4 x 5.65" sized filter. It should work in that Matte Box.
