Hoya 55mm Sparkle 4x
The Hoya Sparkle 4x filter is an effect filter that creates romantic, warm sparkles from light sources, resulting in four-pointed stars. The makers designed this effect to convey a sense of warmth and cosiness. Where conventional cross filters produce a cluttered image with long light rays, these filters deliver subtle light sparkles. The front of the filter features a rotating frame, allowing you to adjust the angle of the star pattern. This makes it possible to give your images a personal look.
This filter can also be a great asset for astrophotography. When you use the Hoya Sparkle 4x, your photos will shine more than ever. Not working with light sources? In the absence of strong light sources, this filter adds a soft effect to your image, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Ideal for portrait or landscape photography.
These filters are made from clear optical glass, and thanks to the slim black aluminium frame, you won't have to worry about Vignetting. The Sparkle series consists of the Sparkle 4X and the Sparkle 6X, allowing you to choose between a four-cross and a six-cross pattern.
