The HOYA STAR 6X filter creates a 6-ray point glow and is effective for shooting night lights, reflections on water surfaces, light seeping through leaves, jewelry photography, and other scenes with low light sources.

HOYA star filters have lines engraved on the surface of the filter's high-quality optical glass, which create the star effect. The STAR 4X, STAR 6X and STAR 8X filters each have a different pattern of lines etched into the glass that create the number of light rays in the filter.

The star filter creates a beautiful, romantic effect, emitting more rays of light from a point light source or a bright object in the image. It is worth considering that the appearance of the rays may vary depending on the aperture setting, the size and strength of the light source, and the distance from the camera.
