The Cokin Star 8 creates 8 rays of light streaking outward from a central point light source in the image. 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. The size and brightness of the star lines produced are first a function of the size, shape, and brightness of the light source. A pattern of crossing lines etched in the filter creates an 8-pointed star, just a streak through the center of the light. Cokin offers 2,4, and 8 point star effects.

This filter fits the Cokin M series holder.
