Camera filter set K&F SB9071 — 3-in-1 star (starburst) filters X4, X6, X8, 62 mm

K&F SB9071 is a 3-in-1 star (starburst) filter set designed for lenses with a 62 mm screw thread. The set contains three separate glass filters—X4, X6 and X8—that produce star-like rays from point light sources. These filters are intended to shape highlights and accentuate specular reflections in night scenes, cityscapes, portraits and creative long-exposure shots while maintaining overall image clarity and color neutrality.

Advantages

The three included star filters give flexible control over the intensity and number of diffraction rays, enabling subtle to pronounced starburst effects without digital processing. Each filter screws directly onto any 62 mm threaded lens, providing a stable optical alignment and simple attachment. The filters are made to preserve sharpness and color balance so that highlights are transformed visually while the rest of the frame remains true to the original scene.

Suitable for

• Night and cityscape photography with point light sources such as streetlights and vehicle headlights
• Portraits where controlled highlight shaping is desired
• Long-exposure and creative ambient-light compositions
• Event and concert photography to emphasize stage lights

Key specifications

• Filter types: X4, X6, X8 star (starburst) filters
• Mount: screw thread for 62 mm diameter lenses
• Optical material: multi-coated glass (designed to reduce reflections)
• Effect: diffraction-based star rays from point light sources
• Compatibility: fits lenses with a 62 mm front thread

How to use

Screw the desired star filter directly onto the front thread of a 62 mm lens until secure. Compose and focus the scene normally; star effects appear on bright point light sources in the frame. For stronger or more numerous rays, switch between the X4, X6 and X8 filters to find the preferred look. Use manual or single-shot autofocus as needed, and re-check focus after attaching the filter if your lens focus is affected by the additional optical element.

Usage recommendations

For predictable results, test each filter type at varying apertures and distances to point light sources. Smaller apertures (higher f‑numbers) can increase the prominence of the star effect in some setups, while wider apertures maintain more of the scene’s background blur. Store filters in their protective cases when not in use to avoid scratches and dust.
