OT: Lens Flare Filter

Veggie_Dave wrote on 3/19/2006, 6:54 AM

A week or so ago I managed to find a manufacturer of 2-star (2mm) lens flare filters, with a 72MM dia. - and now I can't find it again.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I know Vegas can recreate this effect, but the simple truth is that it looks much better done at the filming stage.

Thanks.

Do you mean Lens "flare" or do you me Star effects? Leans Flares are typically the series of optical reflections that show up when the Sun "hits" the various elements that make up a composite lens? I can think of Star Flares, but not Lens flares? . .

Interesting . .

Grazie

Technically it's both. It's a star filter, but as it's only 'two stars' it looks like lens flare. I only know of one filter company that makes the filter, but I managed to loose their address and now can't remember their name.
