Creative Star-Effect Filter for 49mm Lenses

The HOYA Sparkle 6x is a 49mm screw-in filter that converts direct light sources into six-pointed star patterns. Multi-coated glass keeps surface reflections to .5 percent, while a black-rimmed frame reduces internal flare. Knurled edges make attachment quick, and the filter ships with a UV-absorbing protective case.

Screw-On Compatibility and Creative Control

The filter threads onto any lens with a 49mm front thread, requiring no adapter rings or step-up rings beyond that size. Rotating the filter changes the orientation of the star points, letting you align the effect with the composition. In scenes without strong point lights the glass acts as a subtle softening filter.

Replaces Basic Cross-Screen Filters

Photographers moving up from simple cross-screen or single-axis star filters gain tighter point bleed and more controlled beam length. The upgrade is worthwhile when you want repeatable six-point stars with minimal ghosting, but it does not serve shooters who need variable point counts or adjustable beam intensity.

Questions about this item

How small do the star points stay when I shoot bright highlights?

The Sparkle 6x design keeps point bleed to moderately sized beams that enhance the composition without overwhelming it.

Will the multi-coated glass add flare or ghosting during long night sessions?

Digital multi-coated glass limits surface reflection to .5%, and the black-rimmed glass further reduces random internal reflections.

Does my lens need a specific thread to accept this filter?

It mounts on any lens with a 49mm front thread; the knurled ring makes attachment and removal easy.
