Cinematographer
Die Naheinstellgrenze bestimmt wie nah ich an ein Motiv herangehen kann. Fuer Detailaufnahmen nutze ich Diopter oder Makro-Objektive.
Close focus is the minimum distance between lens and subject at which the lens can achieve sharp focus, critical for macro and close-up work.
Close Focus / Minimum Focus Distance
The close focus is the shortest distance between the sensor plane (or film plane) and the subject at which the lens can still achieve focus. It is specified in centimeters or meters.
Typical Values
| Lens Type | Close Focus |
|---|---|
| Wide Angle 24mm | 25-30 cm |
| Standard 50mm | 40-50 cm |
| Portrait 85mm | 80-100 cm |
| Telephoto 135mm | 90-150 cm |
| Macro 100mm | 30 cm (1:1) |
Extension Possibilities
- Diopters: Close-up lenses in front of the lens
- Extension Tubes: Increase the distance between the lens and the sensor
- Macro Lenses: Specifically designed for close-up shots
- Bellows Devices: Maximum magnification for macro
Practical Considerations
At very close focus distances, the effective aperture decreases. A macro lens at 1:1 magnification loses approximately 2 stops.

Perspectives
Director
Close-Focus ermoeglicht intime Detailaufnahmen. Ein Ring, eine Traene, ein Schriftzug - alles braucht gute Naheinstellgrenze.
Producer
Makro-Zubehoer wie Diopter oder Zwischenringe sind guenstig. Dedizierte Makro-Objektive kosten mehr, liefern aber bessere Qualitaet.
