Tiffen 58mm Hollywood Star Filter

Professional Starburst Effects

The Tiffen 58mm Hollywood 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 stunning starburst effect featuring 14 asymmetric primary diffraction spikes. These spikes are arranged in a pattern that approximates a cross, adding a cinematic quality to street lamps, candles, and specular highlights.

Precision Optical Engineering

To maintain the highest image quality, Tiffen constructs this filter from premium optical glass. This ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity, preventing unwanted color shifts or degradation of sharpness. The filter is most effective when used against high-contrast backgrounds, allowing the starbursts to pop with professional intensity.

Adjustable Orientation

Control is essential for creative composition. The filter features a durable aluminum-alloy ring that allows for smooth rotation. This enables photographers and videographers to adjust the exact direction of the diffraction spikes, ensuring the starburst effect perfectly complements the geometry of the frame.
