Focus Where
It Matters

From a morning ritual to a cinematic moment, SHIFT changes how you see. Co-engineered with Shortstache, this set redefines what’s possible with your existing lenses. Same setup. New perspective. Built for photographers and filmmakers who see more in the everyday.

Shot in New York, the Morning Shift campaign follows Shortstache capturing a daily coffee ritual. Each frame, from grind to pour, shows how a single piece of glass can transform perspective. Shift was designed for simple scenes with cinematic depth.

Push Closer,
Hold Clarity.

SHIFT was built for moments when composition and detail matter equally. Every diopter edge and coating was refined to keep focus transitions smooth and light transmission clean. Whether shooting handheld or locked off, Shift keeps every frame intentional.

Travel Light. Shoot Cinematic.
CineBlack transforms your x100 into a pocket-sized cinema camera. Subtle diffusion. Dreamy highlight bloom. A travel-friendly filter for photographers who want filmic depth without the lab.

The Look of Film, Without the Lab

CineBlack softens digital sharpness and smooths highlight rolloff to emulate Kodak cine film. The included Lightroom presets give you instant looks that match the filter’s tones, so your edits flow naturally.

Made for Run-N-Gun Creatives

On the Helix system, CineBlack swaps on and off without threading. Pair it with a VND for video, then drop back to clean glass for stills, fast, fluid, and field-ready. Travel light, shoot deep.
