The B+W 52mm 8x Cross Screen Filteris designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. Within the filter's surface is a combination of fine, etched line types that help to create a starburst effect with eight primary diffraction spikes that extend from the light source.

This filter is most effective for pictures where the light source used to generate the starburst effect is a highlight with a significant degree of contrast from the rest of the image. The B+W 52mm Cross Screen 8x Filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and features an F-Pro brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention. The filter ring can be rotated in order to adjust the direction of the diffraction spikes and overall orientation of the starburst effect.

Q: 2. Will this lens work on my Nikon D90. I have one lens that is 18-105mm and another at 70-300mm

A: No, this is not the proper sized filter for these two lenses. The Nikon 18-105mm lens uses 67mm sized filter, and depending on which 70-300mm lens you have it could be either a 62mm size or 67mm sized filter. If you have the lens cap for the 70-300mm lens, simply remove it, and look on the underneath side of the lens and it will state filter size. Below are two links, the first is for 67mm sized filter recommendation, the second is for a 62mm sized for you to regard on our site:http://bhpho.to/1gI9JCAhttp://bhpho.to/ISN5vR
