The Cokin Soft Star filter creates multiple rays of light, streaking outward from point light sources in the image while softscreen adds a halo around the light sources as well. This can make lighting within the scene take on a more glittering, glamorous appearance. This effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter. This item combines the benefits of both a star effect and soft focus filter creating a moody, dreamy atmosphere. Generally, mid-range apertures or larger are sufficient to achieve a good star effect. Always test before critical situations.
This filter fits the Cokin M (P) series holder.
