Tiffen 72 mm Vector Star Effect Filter
The Tiffen 72 mm Vector Star Effect Filter creates multiple points of light, or "stars", that 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", that 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 effect shots, why not offer your client a table photograph of the menu or invitation next to a sparkling star-filled candle? 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 tolerances of one ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounted in precision aluminium rings.
The effect is produced by a series of fine lines etched on the flat optical surface of a clear filter
Exciting and dazzling star effects generated from original or reflected point light sources, with the added sparkle and brilliance of these exclusive natural-looking asymmetrical designs and shapes
Ideal for water scenes, candle flames, street lamps, and more
Tiffen offers symmetrical star effects with 4, 6 and 8 points as well as additional asymmetrical 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 their filters and thus create more precise degrees of filtration. This process allows greater colour accuracy compared to simply tinted glass which becomes subject to variations during the colouring process
- The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the colour and density of their filters, as well as the characteristics of special effects filters with accuracy far superior to typical mass-tinted filters, which typically exhibit colour and density variations
Superior quality
- The biggest film studios in Hollywood rely on Tiffen filters for their multi-million pound productions. Superior quality and design make Tiffen the 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, a leader in the filter industry, proudly manufactures its filters in the United States and supports its products with a solid 10-year warranty
