The 58mm Vector Star Effect Filter from Tiffen 58mm Vector Star Effect Filtercreates 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.

Star Filters create multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source.  These filters come 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Why are these labeled "Digital?" Will they work fine with film cameras?

A: Although this kit is shown as the Tiffen 58mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit, these same filters can also work on a film camera.

Q: 2. Will the 58mm vector star effect filter by Tiffen fit on my 18-270mm Tamron lens?

A: No it will not. Tamron has had two different versions of an 18-270mm lens, and neither had this filter thread size. The current version of the lens is the PZD version which has a 62mm sized filter thread. The previous version had a 72mm sized filter thread. To confirm which size your lens requires you may simply remove the lens cap and look at the number on the underneath side. If you still need further help determining the proper size for your lens, you may email askbh@bhphoto.com and they can assist you.

Q: 3. Does this work with a Canon T1i? I am not familiar with cameras and this is a gift for my wife who is an amateur photographer. Any other recommendations on filter kits for her camera? She likes taking pictures outside.

A: The kit is designed to fit on lenses with a 58mm filter threading. If your wife has the 18-55mm kit lens this filter set would be a proper fit. If she has a different lens you would need to check on the filter/cap size before purchasing to make sure the size is right. As far as filter kits for outdoor usage goes, this kit has 3 of the most useful filters for outdoor usage. I would stick this kit as my best recommendation for someone starting out and enjoys outdoor photography.

Q: 5. Will this Filters (52mm) will work with Drop In Filter Holder for Canon 6mm F/4 II IS lens ?

Q: 6. Looking to get a Canon 16-35, & considering this set. Interested if you get vignetting when stacking the filters 2-3 deep (would probably use w/ a CP at times) at 16mm? Anyone try this? Should I look for larger filters w/ an adapter instead?

A: I believe if you stack 3 82mm filters on 16mm on a full frame sensor, it's likely to vignette. You can consider using an over-sized CP with adapter instead. Another way is to buy an extra piece of ND filter of higher ND value. I believe less glass is best.
