Tiffen 52VSTR 52mm Vector Star Filter

The Tiffen 52VSTR 52mm Vector Star Filter is a specialty effects filter designed to transform point light sources — such as streetlights, candles, headlights, and specular reflections — into eye-catching star patterns. Unlike fixed star filters, the Vector Star features a rotating mount that gives you hands-on control over the exact angle and orientation of the light rays, allowing you to fine-tune the effect for each composition without removing the filter from the lens.

Built with optical glass set into a precision-machined metal ring, the filter threads securely onto any lens with a 52mm filter diameter and maintains consistent optical clarity. It can also be combined with other compatible filters to produce layered creative effects, expanding your in-camera options beyond what a single filter can achieve. Backed by Tiffen's 10-year warranty, the Vector Star is a durable addition to any photographer's filter kit for adding dramatic flair to nightscapes, cityscapes, and any scene where isolated points of light are present.
