Tiffen 55mm North Star Filter

Cinematic Star Effects for Professional Photography

The Tiffen 55mm North Star Filter transforms ordinary point light sources into dazzling asymmetrical star patterns. Unlike standard symmetrical star filters, the North Star design provides a more natural, organic look that adds a romantic and sophisticated atmosphere to your images. This filter is mounted in a rotating ring, allowing photographers to control the exact orientation of the light streaks for perfect compositional placement.

Precision Engineering with ColorCore Glass

Tiffen utilizes its proprietary ColorCore technology to ensure maximum image quality. This process involves laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch. The result is a filter that maintains exceptional color consistency and sharpness, far surpassing traditional dyed-glass alternatives.
