Tiffen 86mm Star Effect Filter with 6-Point 2mm Grid

Tiffen 86mm Star Effect Filter with 6-Point 2mm Grid | 86CSRSTR62

It’s late evening on a city street. Every distant headlight and streetlamp in your frame catches your eye ? but the light just blooms into a soft blur. That single point of glow could become something more. With the right glass in front of your lens, each light source transforms into a precise six-point star, adding a cinematic intensity to night scenes and reflective water shots alike.

• 6-point 2mm grid creates evenly spaced star bursts around bright highlights ? ideal for jewelry, sunlit water, and night architecture.
• Constructed to Tiffen’s known optical quality standards, it sits securely inside 86mm threads without impeding other filters or lens hoods.
• You rotate the ring to align the star spread exactly where you want it, giving you direct creative control over the final composition.
• The glass yields natural diffraction rather than a harsh overlay, so transitions between light and shadow stay smooth.
• Works as a problem-solver, not just an effect ? useful for reducing the harshness of bright point sources in an otherwise evenly lit scene.

Whether you’re working with a 86mm lens on a prime or zoom, this filter provides a consistent, repeatable look that separates your image from a straight-through capture. It’s a small piece of practical gear that makes a clear visual statement.
