Urth 82mm Star 4 Point, 6 Point, 8 Point Lens Filter Kit - Urth

A star filter creates a starburst or star flare effect, where point light sources appear to radiate lines, mimicking a star. This kit offers 4, 6, and 8-point star effects.

No, the Urth Star Filter Kit does not affect the exposure of your image. It works by refracting light.

The numbers refer to the number of points or rays that emanate from the light source. The 4-point filter creates a simple cross, the 6-point filter creates a six-pointed star, and the 8-point filter creates an eight-pointed star.

Star filters are most effective when shooting bright, direct point light sources like city lights at night, street lamps, holiday lights, or even the sun (use caution and avoid direct sun viewing through the lens).

This filter has an 82mm thread size. You need to check the diameter of your lens's front filter thread. It is usually marked with a Ø symbol followed by a number (e.g., Ø82mm).

Generally, using a filter with a lens hood can cause vignetting, especially on wider lenses. It's often best to remove the hood or use a collapsible rubber hood that can be adjusted.

The filters are made from tough magnalium with professional-grade glass and are backed by Urth's lifetime warranty for durability.

Ensure you are using the correct filter size for your lens. Try using the filter on a wider focal length or stopping down the aperture slightly. Avoid stacking multiple filters.

Ensure you are shooting towards a strong, direct point light source. The effect is more pronounced with polygonal apertures; experiment with stopping down your camera's aperture (e.g., f/8, f/11, f/16).

Clean the filter thoroughly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Ensure the filter is properly seated on the lens and not obstructed.
