Clear 55mm glass filter with black knurled rim

HOYA Filter

HOYA Filter 55mm Sparkle 4x Multi-Coated Glass Filter

SKU CH-83ZG-3N2JD

A 55mm multi-coated glass filter that turns point light sources into four-point stars with minimal bleed and a maximum surface reflection of .5%

  • Creates four-point star effects on direct light sources
  • Minimises point bleed compared to standard star filters
  • Rotate filter to adjust star-point direction
  • Multi-coated glass limits surface reflection to .5%
  • Black-rimmed glass reduces random reflections inside frame

55 mm Sparkle 4x Filter

This 55 mm Sparkle 4x multi-coated glass filter converts direct light sources into pointed four-cross star patterns while minimising point bleed. A knurled black rim makes attachment and removal simple and reduces random internal reflections. The digital multi-coating limits surface reflection to a maximum of .5 percent and the glass absorbs UV light.

Rotation Control and Softening

Rotating the filter changes the direction of the star points for creative composition. In non-direct light the filter softens the entire image, adding a subtle dreamy atmosphere that becomes more pronounced at longer focal lengths. No tools are required; the filter threads directly onto any lens with a 55 mm front thread.

Creative Photographers and Limits

Suited for photographers who want controllable star effects on night scenes, portraits, flowers or landscapes without dominating the frame. Not for shooters who need a neutral protective filter, those requiring a different thread diameter, or anyone who wants a star pattern other than four points.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the filter is producing the intended four-cross sparkle on light sources?

Point the lens at a bright point light and rotate the filter; the four-pointed star pattern should appear and shift direction as you turn the ring.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The filter ships with a UV absorption filter case; you only need a lens that accepts 55 mm threads.

Which version should I choose for a standard four-point star effect?

This model is the 4x variant, giving a moderate four-cross sparkle; other cross counts would be a different filter.
