Tiffen 95mm (Coarse Thread) 6pt/4mm Grid Star Effect Filter
Key Features
  • Creates a Streaking Pattern
  • Use With Point Light Source
  • Black Aluminum Filter Ring
  • ColorCore Glass
The 95mm (Coarse Thread) 6pt/4mm Star Filter from Tiffen creates multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source.  This filter comes in a rotating mount for critical placement of the star effect.

 Wedding photographers will especially appreciate the value of this filter. When it comes to special effects shots, why not offer your client a table shot of the menu or invitation next to a glowing, star-filled candle? Shooting at night? Make that street lamp take on a different, more dramatic appearance by using the star filter. Any point light source will achieve the effect.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

Tiffen Star Overview

The 95mm (Coarse Thread) 6pt/4mm Star Filter from Tiffen creates multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source.  This filter comes in a rotating mount for critical placement of the star effect.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

Note:
With an 8 point filter, the many star lines may tend to overpower the rest of the image, so use it carefully. Generally, mid-range apertures or larger are sufficient to achieve a good star effect. Always test before critical situations.
The effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter
The size and brightness of the star lines produced are first a function of the size, shape, and brightness of the light source: You have additional control through the choice of a particular spacing between the lines on the filter
These spacings are measured in millimeters and range from 1mm to 4mm: A 1mm spacing has twice as many lines as a 2mm spacing and will produce a brighter star for any given source
Lines in one direction produce a two-pointed star, just a streak through the center of the light
Tiffen offers 4, 6, and 8 point symmetrical star effects as well as additional asymmetrical star patterns through their exclusive Hollywood FX Series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects)
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is sealed between two optical glass sheets. In this way, Tiffen can better control the various densities of their filters and thereby create more exact degrees of filtration. This process makes for greater accuracy of color as opposed to glass that is simply dyed and become subject to deviation during the dye process
Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly makes its filters in the USA and backs up its products with a solid 10-year warranty

question

Will this work with a Canon rebel t5
Asked by: Anonymous
There is no reason that it shouldn't if the lens ring is 67mm. As long as it fits, it will work . A couple of things to note with the Tiffen Star Effects Filters is that they need a really bright light to kick off the effect. In contrast, they will not create the effect on bright reflections on the surface of water such as a lake or ocean. It needs a much brighter light source. Second, the filter softens the overall image, which is to be expected if you look at the surface of the filter and see the cuts in the surface of it. This isn't a deal killer as long as you know it going in. I view them as a valuable addition to my creative arsenal. In the right situation they can be magic
