HOYA Filter

HOYA Filter 72mm Sparkle 6x Multi-Coated Glass Filter

SKU CH-ZWJK-GTX8E

Turns point light sources into six-point stars with minimal bleed and a 0.5% reflection coating

  • Transforms point lights into 6-point stars
  • Minimised point bleed for cleaner highlights
  • Rotate filter to steer star direction
  • Digital multi-coated glass cuts reflections to .5%
  • Black-rimmed glass reduces internal flare

What It Is

The Hoya 72mm Sparkle 6x Multi-Coated Glass Filter is a creative lens accessory that converts direct point light sources into medium-sized six-pointed star patterns. It uses multi-coated glass with a maximum surface reflection ratio of 0.5% and includes a UV absorption filter case for protection.

Who It Suits

Photographers wanting subtle star effects on night skies, water reflections or festive lights without the long streaks of traditional cross filters will appreciate the balanced beam length. Shooters who need completely neutral transmission or who dislike any overall image softening in non-direct light should look at alternative filter types.

Capacity And Headroom

The 72mm thread size fits matching lenses and the knurled rim allows quick attachment and removal. The six-cross pattern is fixed; users who want four-point stars or variable beam intensity cannot adjust the effect beyond rotating the filter to change the star orientation.

Highlights

  • Transforms point lights into 6-point stars
  • Minimised point bleed for cleaner highlights
  • Rotate filter to steer star direction
  • Digital multi-coated glass cuts reflections to .5%
  • Black-rimmed glass reduces internal flare

Questions about this item

Will this 72mm filter thread onto my lens?

It fits any lens with a 72mm front thread; the knurled edge helps you screw it on and off without tools.

Can I keep a UV or clear protector on the lens and still use this Sparkle 6x?

Yes, the filter mounts on the outer threads, so it stacks in front of any existing 72mm filter you already have in place.

How can I confirm the star effect is working once the filter is fitted?

Aim at a bright point light; you should see six medium-length rays with minimal bleed, and rotating the ring changes the ray angles.
