Create 6-cross flare effect on light sources Exists in 4, 6 and 8-cross effect Versatile filter for Photo and video Available from 49mm to 82mm Quality made in Japan The Hoya Star 6 filter enhances image drama by transforming strong point-light sources into six-pointed stars, accompanied by an overall softening effect throughout the entire image. The filter allows control over the direction of the star points through rotation. Specifically beneficial when specular highlights in your image require more drama, it proves effective with objects like cars, signs, and street lamps featuring strong specular highlights. Smaller, pointed light sources produce a star-like effect, while larger, dimmer light sources tend to bloom or halate. The Hoya Star 6 filter is designed to convert specular highlights into six-pointed stars and works best with subjects showcasing strong specular highlights, resulting in an overall softening of the image. Key specifications include a Filter Factor of N/A, 0 Number of Multi-Coatings, no Hardened Top Layer, no Anti-Static feature, and a Standard Profile/Aluminum frame construction with Front Filter Threads.
