Kit Hollywood F/X- 4 Filters diameter58mm- Warm, Vector, Pro Mist and Ultra Contrast
Soft F/X Filters
Tiffen Soft F/X filters are soft focus filters. These filters have a pattern of tiny lenslets which put smaller details, like wrinkles and skin blemishes, out of focus while leaving larger details such as the eyes sharp. Soft F/X filters are available in most sizes in grades from one-half through five, with grade 5 having the greatest softening effect. This filter is most effective when used for soft focus portraiture.
This filter combines the effects of Tiffen's Soft F/X series and their exclusive 812 warming filter.
Star Filters
Star filters create multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source. This can make lighting within the scene take on a more glittering, glamorous appearance. This effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter. The size and brightness of the star lines produced are first a function of the size, shape, and brightness of the light source.
You have additional control through the choice of a particular spacing between the lines on the filter. These spacings are measured in millimeters and range from 1mm to 4mm. A 1mm spacing has twice as many lines as a 2mm spacing. It will produce a brighter star for any given source. Lines in one direction produce a two-pointed star, just a streak through the center of the light. Tiffen offers 4, 6, and 8 point symmetrical star effects as well as additional asymmetrical star patterns through their exclusive Hollywood F/X Series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects) .
With an 8 point filter, the many star lines may tend to overpower the rest of the image, so use it carefully. Generally, mid-range apertures or larger are sufficient to achieve a good star effect. Always test before critical situations. These filters come in a rotating mount for critical placement of the star effect.
Pro Mist Filters
Pro-Mist Filters, part of Tiffen's Hollywood F/X Series, generally produce highlight flare that appears more as a "halo" than d
