Hoya 72mm Creative Star 6X Cross Screen Glass Filter

Under the umbrella of Hoya, a brand synonymous with high-quality photography equipment, comes the 72mm Creative Star 6X Cross Screen Glass Filter. This clear, durable, and versatile filter is designed to elevate your photography by creating a dramatic 6-cross flare effect, reminiscent of crystalline snowflakes.

The Hoya Star 6X filter is specifically engineered to produce a 6-beam flare on light spots, making it an effective tool for capturing night illuminations, reflections on water surfaces, light filtering through leaves, and the sparkle of jewelry. This star filter, known for its ability to generate multi-point light flares or rays of light, also referred to as the "star effect," brings bright or strong point light sources into the scene.

The Star 6X filter features six light beams respectively emanating from the light source. This is achieved through lines meticulously etched into the surface of the high-quality optical glass of the filter. The pattern of lines etched into the glass creates the specific number of rays of light for the filter, adding a unique and romantic effect to your images.

The appearance of the rays may vary depending on the aperture setting, size, strength of the light source, and the distance to the camera. By rotating the filter frame, you can find the best angle of the star effect to suit your personal composition intentions. For videographers, rotating the frame can also achieve dynamic and rhythmical movements of the beam flares.

In essence, the 72mm Creative Star 6X Cross Screen Glass Filter is a versatile tool for photographers seeking to add a touch of drama and romance to their images, offering precise control over light and creating visually stunning effects.
