fun special effect - works best with non-bright lights - 67mm cap doesn't fit on it
For people who have a lens with a 67mm opening, this is an interesting filter.
It screws on easily and you can rotate the front of the filter to change the effect. In one position, no effect seen. Keep turning the front element and you will see the star 'beams' reaching out from the light source. There is a point in the rotation where the four light 'beams' will be noticed, continue rotating and you will reach another point where 8 beams will be noticed.
If you prefer to 'add' light beams in post-processing, this is not for you. These beams will be captured in the image.
Using this with a bright light source seems to overwhelm the optics and you get a prism effect captured. A dimmer light source shows the 'beams' best.
One negative for me is that I do not trust putting my 66mm lens cap on this filter. It seems to hold but comes loose with a minor bump.
If you like playing with your camera and have a 67mm lens, this is a filter that will allow you to capture some interesting effects.
