Camera Lens Filter Set K&F SB9068 - 3-in-1 Star/Gwiazdka Filters for 52mm Lenses (X4/X6/X8)

K&F SB9068 is a 3-in-1 camera lens filter set made for lenses with a 52 mm filter thread. The kit contains three screw-on star (cross) effect filters — X4, X6 and X8 — that create multi-point diffraction spikes from bright point light sources such as street lamps, car headlights and festive lights. These optical filters modify highlights in-camera to produce starburst effects without relying on digital post-processing, making them suitable for creative night, cityscape and portrait photography where controlled highlights are desired.

Advantages

The filters provide predictable and consistent starburst patterns across the image by using different diffraction grid densities (X4, X6, X8) to vary the number of spikes. Each filter screws directly onto a 52 mm threaded lens, offering simple and secure attachment without additional adapters. Because the effect is created optically, there is no loss of image data from software processing and the look is visible immediately in the viewfinder or on the camera monitor. The set covers common creative needs by supplying three levels of effect intensity in a compact kit.

Suitable for

• Night photography and cityscapes with bright point light sources
• Creative portrait shots that emphasize specular highlights
• Festive and event photography with decorative lighting
• Long exposure and tripod-based compositions

Key specifications

• Thread size: 52 mm screw mount compatible with 52 mm filter threads
• Optical function: Creates multi-point diffraction spikes from bright highlights
• Material: Optical filter glass with threaded metal/plastic ring (screw mount)

How to use

Choose the desired star filter (X4, X6 or X8) depending on how many spikes you want to appear on point light sources, then screw the filter onto the front of any lens with a 52 mm thread. Compose your shot and adjust exposure settings as required; bright point sources will produce visible starbursts, with stronger effects at smaller apertures. For best results in night or cityscape scenes, use a tripod to maintain stability during longer exposures and check the effect in the viewfinder or on the camera screen before finalizing the frame.

Usage recommendations

Use smaller apertures (higher f-numbers) to sharpen spike definition and reduce blur of the diffraction pattern. When shooting portraits or scenes with mixed light, experiment with each filter variant to select the most natural-looking starburst intensity. Keep the glass surfaces clean and store filters in their protective case when not in use to avoid scratches and dust that can affect image quality.
