Well-built creative filter
The four-pointed star effect is consistent and predictable, transforming point light sources into stars with well-defined arms. The intensity of the effect varies depending on the diaphragm opening used, being more pronounced with f/8 or higher values.
The filter is properly screwed on 82-millimeter lenses without excessive looseness, and the rotation of the ring allows the orientation of the starry tips to be adjusted according to compositional needs. Optical glass does not introduce obvious chromatic aberrations or reduce sharpness appreciably in my tests with professional objectives.
I have tested the filter in urban night photography, landscapes with backlit sun and portraits with artificial lights, the result is satisfactory in all cases. The three included microfiber cloths are useful for maintenance. For photographers looking for occasional creative effect without high investment, this is a recommended option, the quality/price ratio is very favorable compared to premium alternatives.
