Tiffen 82mm Vector Star Effect Filter
The Tiffen 82mm Vector Star Effect Filter creates multiple light points, or "stars", which extend from a central light source. This filter is mounted on a rotating ring for precise placement of the star effect.
Star filters create multiple light points, or "stars", which extend from a central light source. These filters are mounted on a rotating ring 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 star-filled candle? Shooting at night? Give that street light a different and more spectacular 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, ground flat 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 original or reflected point light sources, with the added brilliance and sparkle of these exclusive natural-looking asymmetrical designs and shapes
- Ideal for water scenes, candle flames, street lights and much more
- Tiffen offers symmetrical 4, 6 and 8-point star effects as well as additional asymmetrical 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 can be subject to 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 much greater precision than typical mass-tinted filters, which typically exhibit variations in colour and density
Superior quality
- The major Hollywood film studios rely on Tiffen filters for their multi-million pound productions. Superior quality and design make Tiffen the go-to choice for filmmakers, professional photographers and even NASA
- Tiffen has also received an Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for excellence in engineering
- Tiffen, the industry leader in filters, proudly manufactures its filters in the United States and supports its products with a solid 10-year warranty
