Kenko PRO1D R-Twinkle Star 8X Cross Filter 82mm 8-Strip Cross Effect for Night Scenes Illumination and Light Effects Thin Frame 825136

[Product Description]

Product Description

The 'Cross Filter' effect filter can transform point light sources into striking cross-shaped rays, ideal for shooting illumination and night scenes. Traditional cross effect filters often produce long rays when multiple light sources are present in the composition, which can result in overly busy photos and require careful consideration of the scene and subject. The 'PRO1D R-Twinkle Star(W)' series is a new type of cross effect filter that makes light sources sparkle like stars. The 'PRO1D R-Twinkle Star 8X (W)' features an eight-line pattern reminiscent of a sun symbol, similar to the 'Kenko R-Sunny Cross'. For different scenes, you can choose between the 4-line 'PRO1D R-Twinkle Star(W)' or the 6X version.

【Product Features】 ■ Short Ray Effect with a Cross Filter Unlike conventional cross filters, which can produce excessively long rays depending on the light source, the 'PRO1D R-Twinkle Star(W)' uses a unique new manufacturing method to prevent rays from becoming too long even in situations with dense point light sources. It creates a charming, short, star-like cross pattern that adds a sparkling effect.

■ Easy to Change Light Impression with Rotating Frame The filter features a rotating frame, allowing you to easily change the orientation of the cross pattern. This enables you to adapt the effect to different scenes and expand your creative options.

■ Can Be Used as a Soft Effect Filter in Certain Scenes In situations with no strong light sources, the 'PRO1D R-Twinkle Star 8X(W)' can also serve as a subtle soft filter. The grooves etched into the filter produce a soft effect in photos, making it suitable for portraits and landscape photography. The pattern of the grooves can create a mesh-like bokeh effect, offering a unique visual style different from standard soft filters.
