[58 mm] Adds so much to my photos, and the stars look soft and very romantic. Best used with bright lights reflecting off of something, like water! Love love love. Highly recommend!! 5

[Aluminum] This filter was a pleasure to use. I find that it performs best in sunlight and dusk settings. I intended to use this with a mist filter; however, I found this star filter seems to naturally have a 10% mist effect that softens an image even when there are no light sources to create a star effect. I will say that if used after dark and in a city environment, the effect can be a quite strong and distracting. 5

[58 mm] This was the one product that was not already in stock in the BH shop, but I was willing to take the chance and order it anyway-the product arrived about a week after the rest of my other items came. Looking through the lens with my naked eye onto direct light- I can see immediately the 4 point star effect! Can't wait to use this in my future photo shoots and cinematography projects. 5

[Glass] I use this filter when I taking a night view photo. The 4 cross of light is very beautiful! Also I am happy to handle the direction of 4 cross. 5
