About Hoya Sparkle 4x Filter

How can you capture the magic of a starry night or the subtle glow of a candlelit room in your photography With the 72mm Sparkle 4x Multi-Coated Glass Filter, you can transform ordinary light sources into extraordinary visual effects. This innovative filter is designed to create a captivating 4-cross pattern on point light sources, adding a fairytale-like ambiance to your images.

The Sparkle 4x filter is inspired by the warm, cozy feelings evoked by special moments - a campfire gathering with friends, a romantic winter stroll through an illuminated park, or the serene beauty of a raindrop sliding down a flower petal. This filter allows you to infuse your photos with that same sense of warmth and joy, enhancing light sources to resemble tiny sparks and creating a mood that mirrors the feelings within us.

Unlike conventional cross filters that can produce overly long light beams and clutter your images, the Sparkle 4x filter subtly enhances your photos by creating moderately sized light beams. This balance between the strength of the light source and the length of the light beams results in a more harmonious and pleasing visual effect.

The Sparkle 4x filter is not just for everyday photography. It's also a game-changer for astrophotography. By transforming the light from brighter stars into 4-pointed stars, this filter adds a mesmerizing touch to your night sky images, setting a new standard for celestial photography.

The Sparkle series also includes the Sparkle 6x filter, which creates a six-cross pattern, offering you more ways to personalize your photos. In the absence of strong light sources, the Sparkle 4x filter can produce a soft, dreamy effect, ideal for portrait, flower, and landscape photography.

The filter's rotatable front frame allows you to adjust the angle of the cross pattern, giving you even more control over your image composition. However, it's important to note that the cross effect appears from single point sources, and the strength of the light source, the focal distance, and the aperture value can impact the cross effect.

With the 72mm Sparkle 4x Multi-Coated Glass Filter, you can add a touch of magic to your photography, transforming ordinary light sources into extraordinary visual effects. Whether you're capturing a starry night sky or a candlelit room, this filter helps you create images that truly sparkle.
