82mm Sparkle 4x Filter

The HOYA 82mm Sparkle 4x filter converts direct light sources into pointed medium-sized four-cross star patterns. It is designed for photographers who want to add a creative fairytale effect to highlights in night scenes, festive lights or reflective surfaces.

Rotatable Star Effect Control

The filter rotates to change the direction of the star points, allowing compositional adjustment of the streak orientation. Black-rimmed glass minimises random internal reflections, while multi-coated glass keeps surface reflection at a maximum of .5 percent for contrast retention.

Creative Highlight Enhancement

The filter comfortably handles distinct point sources such as street lamps, stars or sunlight on water, rendering them as defined four-point stars. In non-direct light the glass softens the overall image, so it is not suited for general-purpose clarity or scenes without strong specular highlights.

  • Creates four-point star effects on bright lights

Questions about this item

Is the 82mm Sparkle 4x the right strength for subtle star effects?

The 4x designation produces a balanced four-cross pattern from point light sources while minimising point bleed compared to standard star filters.

How does the multi-coated glass affect light transmission in use?

Digital multi-coated glass limits surface reflection to a maximum ratio of .5%, reducing flare and ghosting when shooting bright highlights.

What does the rotating mount allow me to control?

Rotating the filter changes the direction of the star points so you can align the effect with the composition.
