Tiffen 43mm 4-point/2mm star effect filter 
 
The Tiffen 43mm 4-point/2mm star effect filter creates multiple points of light, or "stars", radiating outwards from a central light source. This filter is supplied with a rotating mount for precise placement of the star effect.
Wedding photographers will particularly appreciate the value of this filter. As far as special effects shots are concerned, why not offer your client a table shot of the menu or invitation next to a glowing candle filled with stars? Night shooting? Give that street lamp a different and more dramatic appearance using the star filter. Any point light source will produce the effect.
Tiffen ColorCore glass is produced by a process that involves permanently laminating the filter material between two pieces of optically polished flat glass with tolerances of one ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounted 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 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 engraved on the flat optical surface of a clear filter
- The size and brightness of the star lines produced depend primarily 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-, 6- and 8-point star effects as well as additional asymmetrical star patterns through their exclusive Hollywood FX series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects)
Tiffen ColorCore glass is sealed between two sheets of optical glass. In this way, Tiffen can better control the different densities of its 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 tinting process
Tiffen, an industry leader in filters, proudly manufactures its filters in the United States and supports its products with a solid 10-year warranty
