Tiffen Vector Star Effect Filter 77mm
The Tiffen 77mm Vector Star Effect Filter creates multiple points of light, or "stars", that radiate outward from a central light source. This filter comes in a rotating mount for precise placement of the star effect.
Star filters create multiple points of light, or "stars", that radiate outward from a central light source. These filters come 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 shot of the menu or invitation next to a twinkling candle filled with stars? Shooting at night? Give that street lamp a different, more dramatic look 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 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 etched on the flat optical surface of a clear filter
Exciting and dazzling star effects generated from origin points or reflected light sources, with the added sparkle and brilliance of these exclusive natural-looking asymmetrical designs and shapes
Perfect 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 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 suffer deviations during the tinting 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 greater precision than typical mass-tinted filters, which typically exhibit colour and density variations
