Tiffen 55mm 4pt/2mm Grid Star Effect Filter
The Tiffen 55mm 4pt/2mm star filter creates multiple light points, or "stars", which radiate outward from a central light source. This filter comes in a rotating mount for precise placement of the star effect.
Wedding photographers will particularly appreciate the value of this filter. For special effects shots, why not offer your client a table photograph of the menu or invitation next to a sparkling candle filled with stars? Shooting at night? Give that street lamp a different and more dramatic appearance by using the star filter. Any point light source will produce the effect.
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced by a process that involves permanently laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass, polished flat to a tolerance of one ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminium rings.
Note: With an 8-point filter, the numerous star lines may tend to dominate the rest of the image, so use it with caution. Generally, medium or larger apertures are sufficient to achieve a good star effect. Always test before critical situations.
- The effect is produced by a series of fine lines etched on the flat optical surface of a clear filter
- The size and brightness of the star lines produced depend mainly on the size, shape and brightness of the light source: You have additional control through the choice of a particular spacing between the lines on the filter
- These spacings are measured in millimetres and range from 1mm to 4mm: A 1mm spacing has twice as many lines as a 2mm spacing and will produce a brighter star for a given source
- Lines in one direction produce a two-point star, just a streak across the centre of the light
- Tiffen offers symmetrical 4-point, 6-point and 8-point star effects as well as asymmetrical star patterns via their exclusive Hollywood FX series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects)
- Tiffen's ColorCore glass is sealed between two sheets of optical glass. This way, Tiffen can better control the different densities of their filters and thus create more precise degrees of filtration. This process allows for greater colour accuracy compared to simply tinted glass which can be subject to variations during the colouring process
- Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly manufactures its filters in the United States and backs its products with a solid 10-year warranty
