Hoya Y3STERN862 62mm Eight Point Star Filter

The Hoya Y3STERN862 62mm Eight Point Cross Screen Filter is a creative photography accessory that transforms point light sources and specular reflections into striking eight-point star patterns. Whether you are shooting city skylines at night, candlelit portraits, or sunlight dancing off water, this filter adds a dramatic, eye-catching quality to your images. The effect is generated optically through a fine grid pattern etched into the glass, meaning it works in real-time through your viewfinder or live view — no post-processing required.

Built with glass optics and coated on both surfaces, the filter is designed to maintain image sharpness and light transmission while suppressing unwanted internal reflections. It threads directly onto any lens with a 62mm front filter diameter, making it quick to attach and remove as shooting conditions change. Because it does not alter exposure or color balance, it integrates seamlessly into existing workflows without requiring compensation in camera settings. For photographers looking to add a distinctive visual flourish to scenes with bright highlights, this filter offers a straightforward, high-quality solution.
