Tiffen 58mm Hyper Star Filter

Cinematic Starburst Effects

The Tiffen 58mm Hyper Star Filter is a specialized creative tool designed to transform point light sources into dramatic 14-point starbursts. By utilizing a series of fine, etched lines on the filter surface, it creates a unique diffraction pattern where the light source takes on an elliptical shape. This specific arrangement groups seven primary spikes on opposite sides of the light, providing a distinct visual style compared to standard star filters.

Precision Optical Construction

Crafted from high-quality optical glass, this filter ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity, preventing unwanted color shifts in your imagery. The filter is housed in a durable aluminum-alloy ring, which is fully rotatable. This allows photographers and videographers to precisely control the angle and orientation of the diffraction spikes to match the composition of the frame.

Versatile Creative Applications

This filter is most effective when capturing scenes with high-contrast highlights, such as:

• Nighttime cityscapes with street lamps
• Sunlight reflecting off water or metallic surfaces
• Candlelit interiors or holiday displays
• Studio photography with focused point lights

Whether you are shooting stills or video, the Tiffen Hyper Star Filter adds a professional, stylized look to your highlights without compromising the integrity of the rest of the image.
