(1) Multi image 3F

Aslo this other company photodiox makes star filters for about $17 each compare to the $70 tiffen filters i'm really scared of the really cheap price but they tell me that these are so easy to make and so simple thats why they are so cheap.

I have found these cheaper glass filters are fine. Not the best but okay. We use a cheap X2 extender with our ZU1 for concert Imag and it works with out noticeable difference. A century would be better, but if cost over rides the need than these cheaper filters will due.

They should be okay if used with some matte box or lens shade. They are more prone to lens flare.
