Tiffen 62mm Hollywood Star Filter

Cinematic Starburst Effects

The Tiffen 62mm Hollywood Star Filter transforms ordinary point light sources into dramatic visual elements. By utilizing a specialized surface of fine, etched lines, this filter generates a unique starburst effect featuring 14 asymmetric primary diffraction spikes. The resulting pattern approximates a cross, adding a professional, cinematic flair to night photography, holiday scenes, and bright highlights.

Premium Optical Construction

Crafted from high-quality optical glass, this filter ensures exceptional clarity and color fidelity without compromising image sharpness. The durable aluminum-alloy filter ring is designed for longevity and smooth operation. Because the ring is rotatable, photographers can precisely adjust the orientation of the diffraction spikes to suit their composition.

Optimal Performance Tips

To achieve the most striking results, use the Tiffen Hollywood Star Filter with point light sources that offer significant contrast against the background, such as streetlights, candles, or the sun. The filter is most effective when positioned perpendicular to the light source.
