Tiffen 52mm Vector Star Effect Filter
The Tiffen 52mm Vector Star Effect Filter creates multiple points of light, or "stars", which extend outwards from a central light source. This filter is supplied in a rotating mount for precise placement of the star effect.
Star filters create multiple points of light, or "stars", which extend outwards from a central light source. These filters are supplied 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 tabletop photograph of the menu or invitation next to a sparkling, star-filled candle? Photographing at night? Give that street lamp a different and more dramatic look 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, ground flat to tolerances of one ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounted in precision aluminium rings.
- The effect is produced by a series of fine lines engraved on the flat optical surface of a clear filter.
- Exciting and dazzling star effects generated from original or reflected point light sources, with the additional sparkle and shimmer of these exclusive, natural-looking asymmetric designs and shapes.
- Ideal for water scenes, candle flames, street lamps and more
- Tiffen offers symmetrical 4, 6 and 8-point star effects as well as additional asymmetric star patterns through its exclusive Hollywood FX series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects).
ColorCore Technology
- Tiffen's 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 is subject to deviations during the colouring process.
- The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the colour and density of its filters, as well as the characteristics of special effects filters, with far greater precision than typical mass-tinted filters, which typically exhibit colour and density variations.
Premium quality
- Hollywood's largest film studios trust Tiffen filters for their multi-million pound productions. Superior quality and design make Tiffen the undisputed choice of filmmakers, professional photographers and even NASA.
- Tiffen has also received an Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its excellence in engineering.
- 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.
