The Series 9 Hyper Star Filter from Tiffen creates multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source. It is great to use at weddings or other special events where a sense of mood, romance and effect are desired. Hyper Stars are best used with point light sources such as candles, matches, streetlights and similar venues.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

Creates Multiple Streaks of Light    ColorCore Glass    Made in the USA    10-Year Warranty

The effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter

Exciting and dazzling star effects generated from original point or reflected light sources with the added glitter and sparkle of these exclusive, natural looking asymmetrical designs and shapes

Great for water scenes, candle flames, street lights, and more

Tiffen offers 4, 6, and 8 point symmetrical star effects as well as additional asymmetrical star patterns through their exclusive Hollywood FX Series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects)

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is sealed between two optical glass sheets. In this way, Tiffen can better control the various densities of their filters and thereby create more exact degrees of filtration. This process makes for greater accuracy of color as opposed to glass that is simply dyed and become subject to deviation during the dye process

Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly makes its filters in the USA and backs up its products with a solid 10-year warranty

Q: 3. I have and LOVE the Zeiss Batis 18. However, I want something wider and am looking at both the 10 and 12 mm. I am admittedly spoiled by the IQ-- color and sharpness of the Batis and want something comparable. How does the IQ of this lens compare to the Batis? Thank you.

A: I don't have the Batis, but I have a lot of experience with German lenses and the 10mm Voigt is tack-sharp.

Q: 4. I haven't used any ultra wide lenses before, so I might be entirely wrong. Looking at the lens front, there's a petal lens hood. If the lens hood is placed in such a way that it won't get in the way, wouldn't it be possible to maybe reduce the size of the hood and instead place a filter thread like 77mm that would be placed within the boundaries of the lens hood?

A: Putting a filter close to the front element would cause vignetting, especially with such a wide angle lens.

Q: 5. Does it work with macOS bigsur latest version is it compatible

A: Yes it is compatible.

Q: 9. I wonder how your product controls its aperture.?

A: I'm sorry but there is no aperture control on this unit.

Q: 10. I see that Novoflex also makes an adapter M to Canon RF adapter. In your best estimation, would I get the full 10 mm out of this when matched up with the Canon R or R6? I know everything is manual from there, but I see some amazing architectural images shot with this lens.

A: The Novoflex Leica M Lens to Canon RF-Mount Camera Adapter, B&H # NOEOSRLEM, would allow you to connect the Voigtlander Heliar-Hyper Wide 10mm f/5.6 Aspherical Lens to the Canon EOS R Mirrorless Digital Camera. There would be no effect to the lens' focal length when using the above lens adapter. As such, as the Voigtlander Heliar-Hyper Wide 10mm f/5.6 Aspherical Lens is designed for use on full-frame sensors, it would be a 10mm lens when used on the Canon EOS R Mirrorless Digital Camera or the Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless Digital Camera.
