I'm becoming a fan of K&F Concept's photography accessories. I've gotten several of their products, and I've been pleasantly surprised every time. Thus far, their products have always been far better than I'd expect for the price. This star effect lens is no exception.

For under $25, you get a very nice effects lens, a very nice hard case for the lens, and three of K&F Concept's amazing microfiber lens cleaning cloths. The lens itself is well built, looks the same as any lens you'd find in an expensive photography shop. The lens is sent in a hard plastic case, with custom cut foam holding the lens nice and tight.

Using the lens is pretty basic; just screw it onto your camera's lens (make sure you know the size of your lens, so you can order the correct size for your needs). And you're ready to take some cool photos. Be prepared to pick your subjects while keeping both contrast and lighting in mind. The lens works best when photographing bright, pinpoint light sources in high contrast settings. Otherwise, you might find it a bit difficult to see any effect from this lens, especially in bright daylight situations. But this effects lens excels in low light and night photography (see photos). If you don't like the direction of the "stars", simply twist the adjustment ring on the lens. You can thoroughly adjust the stars' direction to whatever angle you wish. As you can see in the photos, there is no color distortion or change. You just get stunning nighttime photos.

I'm really quite pleased with my first session using this new effects lens, and look forward to using it again very soon!
