Tiffen 52STR62 52mm Star 6PT 2mm Filter

Tiffen 52mm 6pt/2mm Star Filter produces multiple points of light or "stars" that roam outward from a central light source. This filter comes in a rotating mount for critical star effect placement. Wedding photographers will especially appreciate the value of this filter. When it comes to special effects shots, why not offer your customer a tabletop shot of the menu or an invitation next to a glowing, star-filled candle? Shooting at night? Each point light source will achieve the effect. Tiffens ColorCore glass is made through a process where the filter material is permanently laminated between two parts of optical glass ground flat to reach tolerances of one tenthousandth of an inch and then mounted in precision aluminum rings. The effect is created by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter. You have extra control by choosing a certain distance between the lines on the filter. These distances are measured in millimetres. METERS AND RANGE FROM 1mm TO 4mm: A 1mm spacing has twice as many lines as a 2mm spacing and produces a brighter star for any source. Lines in one direction create a two-pronged star, just a strip through the center of the light. 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). Tiffens ColorCore glass is sealed between two optical glass panes. In this way, Tiffen can better control the different densities of their filters and thus produce more accurate filtration levels. This process ensures higher color accuracy unlike glass, which is simply dyed and subject to variations during the dyeing process. Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry.
