The Hoya Star 6 filter enhances image drama by transforming strong point-light sources into six-pointed stars and introducing an overall softening effect. Rotatable for control over the direction of star points, this filter proves beneficial in scenarios where specular highlights in your image require increased drama, especially with objects like cars, signs, and street lamps exhibiting strong specular highlights. Smaller, pointed light sources yield a star-like effect, while larger, dimmer light sources tend to bloom or halate. The Hoya Star 6 filter is designed to convert specular highlights into six-pointed stars, working best with subjects featuring strong specular highlights and providing an overall softening effect. The filter specifications include a Filter Factor of N/A, 0 Number of Multi-Coatings, no Hardened Top Layer, no Anti-Static feature, and a Standard Profile/Aluminum frame construction with Front Filter Threads.
