Tiffen Vector Star 62 mm Special Effects Filter
The Tiffen Vector Star 62 mm special effects filter creates multiple points of light, or "stars", which extend outward from a central light source. This filter is supplied with a rotating mount for precise placement of the star effect.
Star filters create multiple points of light, or "stars", which extend outward from a central light source. These filters are supplied with 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? For night shots, give that street lamp a different and more spectacular appearance using the star filter. Any point light source will produce the effect.
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced by a process that consists of permanently laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass, polished to a tolerance 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 point or reflected light sources, with the additional brilliance and sparkle of these exclusive asymmetric natural-looking designs and shapes
- Perfect for water scenes, candlelight, street lamps and much more
- Tiffen offers symmetrical 4, 6 and 8-point star effects as well as additional asymmetric star patterns through their 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 simple tinted glass which can exhibit variations during the tinting 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 greater precision than traditional mass-tinted filters, which generally exhibit colour and density variations
Superior quality
- The largest Hollywood film studios trust Tiffen filters for their multi-million dollar productions. Superior quality and design make Tiffen the preferred choice of filmmakers, professional photographers and even NASA
- Tiffen has also received an Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its engineering excellence
- Tiffen, the leader in the filter industry, proudly manufactures its filters in the United States and supports its products with a solid 10-year warranty
