The Tiffen 138mm Self-Rotating Hyper Star Filteris a mounted filter that includes rear and front threads that allow filter stacking when using third-party or custom filter holders. This filter's rear threads are intended to retain a 138mm non-self-rotating mounted filter that is already placed within a compatible filter holder, providing a supplemental effect. The Tiffen 138mm Self-Rotating Hyper Star Filter's front threads can accommodate an additional non-self-rotating mounted filter, which can then be held in place with a 138mm retaining ring. Alternatively, another Tiffen 138mm self-rotating filter may be screwed on top of the Tiffen 138mm Self-Rotating Hyper Star Filter.

Once installed, this filter is designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. Within the filter's surface is a combination of fine, etched lines. Those lines help to create a starburst effect with 14 primary diffraction spikes that extend from the light source which is also given an elliptical shape. The Tiffen 138mm Hyper Star Filter arranges those diffraction spikes in a pattern where seven primary diffraction spikes are grouped along both sides of the elliptical light source that are furthest from each other.

This filter is most effective for pictures where the light source used to generate the starburst effect is a highlight with a significant degree of contrast from the rest of the image. It is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and features an aluminum-alloy filter ring that can be rotated to adjust the direction of the diffraction spikes and overall orientation of the starburst effect.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work with the combination of the Fuji GFX 50sii and the Fuji GF 45-100?

A: Yes, FUJIFILM GFX 50S II Medium Format Mirrorless Camera with the FUJIFILM GF 45-100mm f/4 R LM OIS WR Lens fits on the Benro QRB95 Quick Rotating Bracket with enough clearance to manage your aperture ring and the lens Af /MF switch.

Q: 2. Will this only work with mirrorless cameras?

A: The Benro QRB95 Quick Rotating Bracket will not work with DSLR cameras with most lenses.

Q: 3. Will it work with Gfx 100ii?

A: The Benro QRB95 Quick Rotating Bracket is too small for the Fujifilm GFX 100 II.

Q: 4. Will this item work with a vertical grip attached to a camera, i.e. Fujifilm XH1?

A: No, you cant use a vertical grip with the Benro QRB95 Quick Rotating Bracket.

Q: 5. Will this work with a Movo Photo SCG-30 Universal Aluminum DSLR Camera Cage with Top Handle, Shoe Mount and 15mm Rods?

A: The product you are asking about is not sold by B&H so we cannot speak to the efficacy of your request. In other words, we cannot know for sure that it will work. However, 15mm/cage systems are made to basic standards so with that and the fact the screws on the CAMVATE cheese handles are in adjustment slots, we feel that this handle will probably work on the cage you are asking about.

Q: 6. will this bracket work with sony a7iii and all sony glass 14mm, 12-24, 24-70, and 70-200 g master lenses?

A: The Benro QRB95 Quick Rotating Bracket maximum lens diameter is 94mm. The Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM Lens is wider than that so it may not work. The 70-200 g won't fit with the foot on the lens, that will have to be removed. It will also place a lot of weight on the lens mount, so I would not recommend using that lens. The other lenses you listed should work.

Q: 7. What are the dimensions of this Benro Arcasmart360 Plate?

A: Being that this is a new item, we do not have full specifications on it yet. We hope to update the information soon.

A: The first two images would be the correct representation of this filter.

Q: 9. Is the 1mm filter version available too?
