Tiffen 52mm 6 Point Star Filter

The Tiffen 52mm 6 Point Star Filter creates multiple streaks of light radiating from bright point sources. It is designed for photographers who want to add a distinctive starburst effect to highlights in night scenes or decorative shots.

ColorCore glass in precision aluminium ring

The filter uses ColorCore technology with the effect material laminated between two pieces of optical glass ground to a ten-thousandth of an inch. A rotating mount allows precise alignment of the star pattern, while the aluminium ring ensures durable threading on 52mm lenses.

Effect limited to bright point highlights

The star pattern only appears around concentrated light sources such as candles, street lamps or reflections. Scenes without strong specular highlights will show no visible effect, and the etched lines can reduce overall contrast when used in flat lighting.

Questions about this item

What thread size does the 52mm 6 Point Star Filter use to attach to the lens?

The filter screws directly onto any lens with a 52mm front thread, no adapter rings required.

How thick is the filter frame and will it vignette on wide-angle lenses?

The precision aluminum ring adds minimal thickness; vignetting depends on the specific lens hood and focal length used.

How do I align the star streaks after screwing the filter on?

Rotate the outer ring independently until the six-point pattern orients exactly as you want, then lock it in place.
