Tiffen 58mm Star 8 Point 2mm Special Star Effect Filter camera accessory

Photographers wanting 8-point star effects

The Tiffen 58mm Star 8 Point 2mm filter creates a dramatic eight-point star pattern from bright point light sources or strong reflections. It is designed for photographers who want to add an artistic, decorative flair to night scenes, cityscapes or jewellery shots. The effect intensifies with larger and brighter light sources, giving creative control over the final look. It is not suited for shooters who need a neutral protective filter or who want to avoid any alteration of highlight rendering.

Optical glass maintains transmission and clarity

High-quality optical glass construction keeps light loss to a minimum, preserving image clarity and colour fidelity while the star effect is applied. The filter mounts directly to the lens thread and adds no electronic components, so it draws no power and generates no heat or noise during use. There are no moving parts that could fail, and the glass surface resists the thermal stress of normal outdoor shooting. The rotatable frame allows the photographer to align the star pattern precisely without affecting exposure.

58mm thread fits many lenses.

A robust 58mm filter ring threads onto compatible lenses and doubles as a physical barrier against dust and scratches on the front element. The ring rotates smoothly so the orientation of the eight-point star can be adjusted to suit the composition, then locked by simply stopping the turn. The slim profile reduces the chance of vignetting on wide-angle lenses, though the exact clearance depends on the specific lens hood used. Photographers with lenses that lack a 58mm thread will need a step-up or step-down ring, which is not included.
