55mm Star Filter 4-8 Points Variable Starburst Filter Cross Screen, 18 Layer Coating Ultra Slim Optical Glass, with 3 Pcs Cleaning Cloths Nano-Klear
SKU: KF01.2292V1
had one of these star filters years ago for my film camera. I still have the filter, but it is too small for my most used lenses. This is made of glass and metal, always must have features for me. I have several other filters from this company, and all have been a positive experience. Yes, you can add these kinds of effects via post-[processing but nothing beats experimenting with real filters when you're shooting. Fantastic on Christmas lights too. It ramps up the festive feel of the lights. Turn the filter to get different effects on a scene. This is a really fun filter to add to your kit. Use a step up/step down adapter to use it on any lens you have.

As with all value special effects lens filters, this isn't going to be for top optical quality. It's for when the special effects will enhance the overall picture so that doesn't matter. That means you have to experiment and think about your use case, because it's not going to work well in a lot of situations. You need point light sources, often in otherwise dark or dim environments. There's a prismatic (color-separating) effect I wasn't expecting in the starburst lines. It's welcome, though. It's pretty easy to twist the outer part of the filter to go from aligned to crossed filter lines, for 4- or 8-pointed starbursts. If there are a lot of lights or they're close together, 8-pointed starbursts will probably be overwhelming. That's where I see the value in being able to switch it up on the fly. I also recommend experimenting with your camera settings to see when you get banding of the starbursts and when you don't. I took quick sample pics with my cellphone, so they're not representative of what you can do. I quite like filters like this for the right purpose; I plan to use this one when there are fairy or holiday lights in the background or foreground (behind or in front of my subject).

This is a filter for creating a starburst effect. This filter is larger than normal because it has an adjustable ring on it for adjusting the effect. I found it to be a neat way to achieve this look (see attached photo) without using software. It comes in a plastic hard shell case with three cleaning cloths. You have to be careful about turning the outer ring to make adjustments. I didn’t realize it but I was actually unscrewing the filter from my lens at first. Overall this is a good filter for the effect, but you need to dial in just the right amount of starburst or it looks weird.

If you hold the filter up just right, you can see the grid. It's completely invisible though when it's on the camera. The light effects that it create have beautiful rainbow colors that make it look unlike any other I've seen. It's especially amazing on rows of LED's. It doesn't seem to add any hue, tones, or shade. Overall a great fun filter. Highly recommended.

Use all the stadium and the final result is so disastrous! Consiglio se si vuole fare qualche scenographic photo.

This filter creates a super cool sparkle with Christmas lights, for example. This filter is variable, allowing you to give the lights a more dramatic effect as you move it. When you hold it up to the light, the lines appear. The finish is very good, like almost everything from this brand. This brand is dedicated to photography products with a long history and very competitive prices. As I said, this 67mm filter is great.

ordered this filter to use mainly at weddings during the reception time. The photos of candle lit tables turn out so magical when this filter is on my lens.
