The 4.5" Round Streak 2mm Self-Rotating Filter from Tiffen is a special effects filter designed to render a single light ray from a point light source. This filter features a single series of etched lines spaced 2mm apart from each other, which run diametrically across the filter surface. This filter is set in a self-rotating mount, which can be used to adjust the orientation of the light ray to suit your composition or desired effect. It is constructed from clear optical-grade glass and mounted in an aluminum filter ring.

Single Light Ray from Point Light Source    Etched Lines are Spaced 2mm Apart    Rotating Filter Mount    Aluminum Filter Ring    Optical-Grade Glass Construction

Etched lines spaced 2mm apart produce a single ray of light from point light sources, strong highlights, reflective materials, or metallic surfaces.

Self-rotating mount can be used to adjust the orientation of the light streak.

Optical glass construction and clear filter substrate help to maintain the original image quality and do not affect the overall color or contrast.

Q: 1. Hi there, do you sell any UV Filters for this Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens? Is it possible to buy the lens and UV filter together from you?

A: B&H has a wide variety of filters, including 67 mm filters which fit this lens. I never buy a lens without purchasing a UV filter for it, and I like to have a circular polarizer for all my lenses. B&H has a wide range of both for this lens and I ordered both with it. I chose a Hoya NXT UV filter and a Hoya NXT CIR-PL, but you will find a wide variety, some costing less, and some more. You can speak with a B&H rep who can help you understand the choices, but it's up to you. And I highly recommend that you order at least a UV filter when you buy the lens, if only to protect the lens. Every lens I own has a UV filter which stays on all the time.

Q: 10. Do you recommend the Hoya - 67mm NXT Circular Polarizer Filter or is there another that pairs better with the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens?

A: I am using the 67mm Zeiss T* Pol Filter (circular) with the 10-18. The T* antireflective coating avoids flare of stray light and is claimed to let 99.5% light transmittance through it. I have been using it for landscape shots and also indoors, in museums for example, where objects displayed are sometimes protected by glass shields and reflections are really a problem. Pictures turn to be cleaner and much better defined. I am extremely satisfied with this filter. As for the Hoya filter, to say the truth, I have no idea, since I never had the chance to use it, but I presume it might be OK also.
