Hoya 52mm 4x Cross Screen Star Effect Glass Filter
Hoya Cross Screen filters have a surface that is etched with a fine grid pattern. Depending on the pattern, point light sources and reflections create multi-beam stars.
- Hoya's Star 4 Cross Screen is designed so that a 4-point star is created from point light sources and reflections.
- The effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter

It's a simple product, but the result you get through the camera is really something else. The build is sturdy and the star-effect is very surreal and an awesome change in bokeh.
