Be captivated by the vibrant hues of your photography with our 55mm Red Starscape Glass Filter, often referred to as a 'didymium' filter. This high-quality filter is specifically designed to amplify the saturation and contrast of red, orange, and brown subjects, while minimally affecting other colors.

It's particularly effective in architectural photography, where it can emphasize certain features of buildings, adding depth and richness to your shots. Moreover, it's an excellent tool for landscape photography, as it enhances the natural beauty of foliage and rocky features, making them stand out with stunning clarity and color intensity.The 55mm Red Starscape Glass Filter is not just a tool, but a gateway to transforming your photography into a realm of vibrant, captivating imagery. It's a must-have accessory for any photographer looking to add a touch of color and contrast to their work.

Seems to work well. Only tried it once so far, but Adorama won?t stop pestering me to leave a review.

So far so good

This filter worked about as I expected it to - the build quality is good and it threads onto the lens smoothly, and it worked as advertised at substantially reducing the yellow light reflected from light pollution in town off some contrails in the night scene I was photographing.  It doesn't magically remove all the light pollution like a narrow-band filter would, but it did admirably at what it was advertised to do.  The reduced yellow light gives the images a purple hue that I need to work on compensating for, but that's an expected and desired effect.

works as expected

Great filter and well built.  We have a lot of light pollution in Houston and this filter does a great job of correcting colors.

Great Filter

Decent filter

Not a fan. I’ve only used it a couple of times, but I get a perfect circle in the middle of all of my pictures. I have been in dark areas, and I seem to get less stars with it than I do without. Maybe it needs the light pollution, I don’t know.

Circle in the middle

Great for cleaning up the night sky when you are close to city lights. Darkens the sky and has great clarity  for these pictures.

Hoya Intensifier

Worked as expected.

Simple online purchase of a filter couldn't have been easier!

super service

Using it intensifies Ted colors I've used it on red rocks and sunsets.very pleased.

Good results with this filter8er

Well built filter. Feels really solid on the lens. Tried it out for the first time last weekend and it definitely seemed to reduce light pollution.

Great filter

First I will say its the only filter of this type I have ever owned but the difference in the shots with and without the filter mounted are amazing.

Excellent Filter

needed

Loving it

Works well. I use it for Astro Photography to filter city light pollution. A dew heater strip might be needed to keep dew off if using at night.

Works well for filtering nighttime city light pollution.

The filter does a good job of intensifying red, brown and orange colors. I have not been able to use it for astrophotography yet.

good value for the price

I first heard of this filter at an astronomy seminar - was too expensive for me until Adorama put it on sale.  Recommended if you want to explore star photography

works as advertized

I got this since didymium helps with for dimming sodium lighting flare, but I think a second filter stacked would be needed for my taste. Other than that, this is a great filter

Good filter, but might want to buy 2 and stack them

This filter does just what I had hoped it would do, kill as much light pollution as possible for astro-photography.

Perfect!!!!

This filter is a great addition to a landscape photographer's kit, it's especially useful in mildly light-polluted areas for astrophotography, along with enhancing the reds and oranges while shooting fall colors and sunsets.

Great addition to my kit

Excellent quality filter with stunning results evident from the first photo. Great choice and price point.

Great filter for all photography needs.

Great filter for fall colors

A friend loaned me his filter and I knew with one shot I wanted it! The smoothness and color enhancement was amazing! I'm using it on a Nikon 750. I waited 2 mths for this filter and I'd do it again.

The smoothness and color enhancement was amazing!

Anyone that can't get away from suburbia to capture the night sky knows the pains that come with purple- and red-tinged hues. This filter nullifies them and gives you true and accurate color. Simply fabulous!

Great for Astrophotography

I was pretty satisfied with this product.  I actually thought it might add a little more intensity but all in all it does the job.

Satisfied with this product.

I use this filer extensively during the fall for foliage shots. This filter will not add red where it is absent but will enhance existing reds and browns, adding vibrancy to a dull scene. It also works well for animals and plants that are red or brown (white tailed deer, red fox, cardinal flower). It will even bring a richer tone to a forest floor blanketed with brown leaves. I have also had good results with sunrise/sunsets as well. Christmas is another time of year when it works well, as there are many red lights and decorations, and santas suit will glow. It really is a must have filter.

Red Intensifier Filter - A must have

I heard about it, saw it in magazines . Bought one and was WOWED!!
