82 mm Creative Star 8X Cross Screen Filter

The Hoya 82 mm Creative Star 8X Cross Screen Glass Filter adds an eight-beam flare to bright point-light sources in a scene. It is aimed at photographers who want an in-camera star effect on night illuminations, water reflections, jewellery highlights or dappled light through foliage. The filter threads onto any lens with an 82 mm front thread.

Optical glass construction and etched pattern

High-quality optical glass maintains clarity while the precisely etched surface generates eight distinct light rays radiating from each strong highlight. The intensity and length of the star rays change as the aperture is adjusted, giving creative control over the prominence of the effect without post-processing.

Replaces single-cross or lower-count star filters

Photographers moving up from a four-line or six-line cross screen gain twice as many beams for a denser, more dramatic starburst. The upgrade is worthwhile when the subject contains numerous small specular highlights and the desired look calls for a richer, more symmetrical flare pattern.

Questions about this item

Does the 82mm Creative Star 8X filter add noticeable heat or power draw during long shoots?

The filter is passive optical glass with no electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power regardless of how long you shoot.

What lens thread size must I already own for the 82mm Creative Star 8X to mount directly?

You need a lens with an 82mm front filter thread; otherwise a step-up ring is required to attach this filter.

Will the 8-beam flare effect still render cleanly on older manual-focus lenses at small apertures?

Yes, the etched cross-screen pattern works with any lens that accepts an 82mm filter, and the star effect is adjustable by stopping down the aperture.
