Tiffen 52mm Hyper Star Filter

Professional Starburst Effects for Photography and Video

The Tiffen 52mm Hyper Star Filter is a specialized creative tool designed to transform point light sources into dramatic visual elements. By utilizing a surface of fine, etched lines, this filter generates a 14-point starburst effect. Unlike standard star filters, the Hyper Star gives the central light source an elliptical shape, with seven diffraction spikes grouped on each side for a unique, symmetrical aesthetic.

Precision Engineering and Build Quality

Constructed from high-quality optical glass, this filter maintains excellent clarity and color fidelity, ensuring your images remain sharp and vibrant. The filter is housed in a durable aluminum-alloy ring. This ring is rotatable, allowing photographers and videographers to precisely control the angle and orientation of the starburst spikes to suit the composition.

Optimal Usage and Performance

To achieve the best results, use the Tiffen Hyper Star Filter in scenarios with high contrast, such as night cityscapes or bright sunlight reflecting off water. It is compatible with any lens featuring a 52mm filter thread and works best when positioned perpendicular to the light source.
