ELVARNIXO Shaping — light is made at the last metre
The Dioptra is the portrait engine of the modern studio: a true parabolic curve on an indexed rod, travelling from specular bite to wrapped glow with a note-taking level of repeatability.
Light is shaped at the last metre, so the last metre gets the best materials: silver and white textiles woven and measured for even spread, diffusion in graded weights that stay neutral, and frames that open in seconds and survive years of vans. Beam patterns are stated as published by the manufacturer on every listing.
Design & Craft
- Frames open in seconds and forgive the two-hundredth assembly
- Textiles woven and graded for neutral colour after years of vans
- Every panel, rib and layer available as a spare part
- Sixteen or twenty-four ribs holding a true parabolic curve
- Silver keeps its colour; ribs replace one by one
- Indexed focusing rod — note the number, repeat the look

Questions, Answered
How repeatable is the focus effect on the parabolics?
The rod is indexed — note the number, repeat the look. Beam maps at three rod positions ship in the box.
Which mount does it fit?
S-type as standard, with speedrings for the major systems listed in the options. Tell us your fixtures and we confirm fitment before dispatch.
