SKU: SKU.2132V1
These are quite nice filters. Nicely made, and a fun way to inject some sparkle into your shots. I had an entire sd card worth of stuff taken with these filters that I now have no idea what I've done with, so here are some shots and a video I set up this morning in studio so I could write this review.
Thoughts: These won't be for everybody. The effect is pronounce and strong. That being said...for those who enjoy playing with light and all the ways it stretches bends and bounces...these are a blast. I spent and hour taking these shots because I was having fun just setting up different scenes to capture the way it sparkles. The six point is by far my favorite...the 2...well it can be more difficult to make it look good in a composition. I love the effect with running water or the waves atop the lake. Rain was a LOT of fun with it, as you can really find places that light up. Overall, if you are just looking for inspiration and like light...this can be a really great way to get those creative juices flowing. Just know what you are getting into.

They come in a convenient velcro package and contain three star filters with 4, 6 and 8 points. Very popular in the past, they are certainly among the accessories to have in your samples.
the best use is obviously with artificial lights and the more there are, the better. The ideal is an urban landscape in the evening, perhaps after rain, and you will see them for each starlight point with the number of points varying depending on the filter you install on your DSLR or Mirrorless.
It can be used on any type of photo because the tips appear only in the light spots and in portraits they can give really interesting embellishments.
Cleaning cloths are also provided along with the filters.
The price is low but this depends on the quality of the slides which in this case certainly do not shine for extreme quality, but on modern mirrorless they do not significantly affect the images so you can be sure that you will be comfortable with them.
Given the combo offer and the convenience of transportation, I recommend them to you.

Great case and 3 sets of lens wipes included! These Star filters and some gleam and glimmer to your pics. I used to add these in post after the fact, but this saves you lots of time and bakes it into the photo so you don't have to do any work after! You can turn the filter too and get the Star points to go in different directions! Get Bedazzled!

I ordered this excellent star filters kit from Amazon, and it arrived very quickly. Inside the packaging, I received three star filters, a very nice carrying case, and three packs of sealed cleaning cloths for the filters and the lens. The optics are very nice, and I also own other filters by K&F for my pancake lens. These are very high-quality filters, and I highly recommend them to any photography enthusiast.

I loved having the choice of 4, 6 or 8 points. All 3 star filters were securely wrapped and came in a very sturdy and attractive carry case. Great quality and I am enjoying using them.

TL;DR - Looking to bring back 70s glamour? STAR FILTERS. 4/6/8 pointed stars for all your needs.
DISCLAIMER - This review sample was provided to me free of charge. The opinions expressed are solely my own with no input from either manufacturer or Amazon.
This filter set comes with 3 star filters. Each filter will create stars, and the number of points will correspond to the numerical notation on each filter; star 4 will create a 4-pointed star, and star 8 will create 8-pointed stars. Simple right?
The build quality is mid-tier and quite lightweight, but in my experience the machining on the screw threads was very good and mounted smoothly to my lens. Removal was also done with ease, though not nearly as frictionless.
On each filter there is an additional adjustment ring that can be adjusted to turn the orientation of the stars.
Image quality is obviously impact, but if you're buying star filters it's not about technical perfection. It's about the stars!
Included, is a handy filter pouch, which is honestly quite nice considering it's free. My only gripe is that it opens and closes with velcro, which can be an irritating sound during a shoot, but honestly, it's a very minor quibble.
Shockingly, I have nothing negative to say about the set. They absolutely deliver on what they promise, they're built to a level that's more than acceptable, and they're great fun.
5/5 STARS
As a quick aside, I should mention that the star effect is largely dependent on your light source. You will observe a significantly stronger star effect when your light source is highly focused compared to a very diffused light source. See images.

K&F makes affordable quality photographer's accessories, and these star filters are one of them. As with other K&F metal filter frames have thick, easy-to-handle knurling on the edges, making them easy to screw on and off a lens. The filter allows swiveling to adjust the direction of the star points. The included case is luxurious compared to the usual plastic cases, with a leather and fabric enclosure with velcro fasteners.
In my tests, the lens has little effect on the darker portion of a night scene. It creates sharp-looking stars off highlights. The stronger the light source, the bigger the stars. Careful exposure is important; if the image is overexposed, the source lights will look overblown and fuzzy. The same is true about shooting jewelry, which can always benefit from a well-placed glint.
