Hoya 67mm Sparkle 4x Filter
The Hoya Sparkle filter utilizes a new multi-coating process and etching pattern that limits the size of the star points to give it a more natural look than traditional Star Filters. The filter is more sensitive to very small light sources like stars making it an excellent choice for astrophotographers looking for a different and more creative look. Traditional cross filters tend to lengthen the light beams from sources, creating dense illuminations that lead to overloaded imagery. The moderation of these beams is what makes the Hoya Sparkle unique.

Traditional cross filters do not control the length of the light beams, so the brighter the light source the longer the beams. This can create overwhelming and unnatural star effects. The moderation of these beams is what makes the Hoya Sparkle filter unique.

The filter's rotating frame lets you control the direction of the points emanating from light sources. The knurling on the frame make it easy to attach and remove from your lens and is matte black to minimize unwanted reflections and ghosting.

Like all star filters, the Sparkle filter softens and reduces contrast in the image. The effect can be compared to a soft diffusion filter, and affects the whole image making it a fun option for diffusion even when Pinpoint light sources are not in your picture.

*Results will vary when using this filter, and depends on available light sources and environmental conditions.

CA Proposition 65

Attention to all California residents, Proposition 65 or officially known as, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is a law that requires warnings be provided to California consumers when they might be exposed to chemicals identified by California as causing cancer or reproductive toxicity. The warnings are intended to help California consumers make informed decisions about their exposures to these chemicals from the products they use. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) administers the Proposition 65 program and publishes the listed chemicals, which includes more than 850 chemicals. August 2016, OEHHA adopted new regulations, to go into effect on August 30, 2018, which changes the information that is required in or on Proposition 65 warnings.

We want you to know and be aware of our product safety and Midwest Photo is taking all of the necessary steps to comply with the applicable safety and health requirements made by this Proposition 65.

WARNING: This product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

This disclaimer can be found on the product pages on our website under the Additional Information tab which appears below the product description.
