Overview

The Tiffen 62VSTR 62mm Vector Star Effect Filter is designed for photographers who want to add eye-catching star patterns to point light sources in their images. Unlike conventional star filters that produce uniform, symmetrical rays, the Vector Star creates asymmetrical shapes that lend a more organic and visually interesting sparkle to highlights. Whether you're shooting cityscapes with streetlights, candlelit scenes, or sunlight glinting off water, this filter transforms ordinary specular highlights into dramatic focal points.

Built with a precision metal mounting ring, the filter attaches securely to any 62mm-threaded lens and features a rotating design that lets you dial in the exact angle of the star rays. This level of control means you can fine-tune the effect to complement your composition rather than leaving it to chance. The filter is also designed to be stacked with other Tiffen filters, opening up additional creative possibilities when combined with polarizers, diffusion filters, or color effects.
