Hoya Star effect filter

Star 4X is the popular artistic Hoya filter to create a dramatic 4-beam cross flare effect. Available sizes (mm): 49, 52, 55, 58, 62, 67, 72, 77, 82 The Hoya Star 4X filter creates a 4-beam flare on light sources and is suitable for shooting night lighting, reflections on water surfaces, light passing through leaves, photographs of jewellery and other scenes with tiny light sources. Star filters create dramatic multi-point light reflections or rays of light, also known as the "star effect", which emphasise bright or strong point light sources. Star filters are available in three different versions: Star 4X, Star 6X and Star 8X, each with 4, 6 or 8 light beams emanating from the light source. Hoya star filters have structures etched into the surface of the filter's high-quality optical glass to create the star effect. Each of the filters, Star 4X, Star 6X and Star 8X, has different line patterns etched into the glass to create the number of light rays for the filter. The star filter creates a beautiful and romantic effect by emitting multiple rays of light emanating from a point light source or bright object in the image. The appearance of the beam can vary depending on the aperture setting, size, strength of the light source and distance from the camera. Find the angle of the star effect according to your personal preferences by rotating the filter frame. When recording a video, rotate the frame to achieve dynamic and rhythmic movements of the rays.
