Product Introduction

The "Cross Filter" is an effect filter that can turn point light sources into cross-shaped rays, suitable for illumination and night scene photography. Previously, cross effect filters required careful consideration because when there are many light sources in a photo, the rays could connect or become excessively long.
"PRO1D R-Twinkling Star (W)" is a new type of cross effect filter that makes point light sources sparkle like stars.

Product Specifications
A cross effect filter that does not elongate the light rays
Traditional cross filters often produce excessively long rays depending on the light source, which could make photos of densely packed illumination scenes overly busy.
"PRO1D R-Twinkling Star (W)" differs from conventional cross filters by using a proprietary new manufacturing method, preventing long rays even with intense point light sources, and creating a cute, short cross shape that expresses a sparkling star effect.

Easy to change the impression of the light with a rotating frame
"PRO1D R-Twinkling Star (W)" features a rotating frame, allowing you to change the orientation of the cross. You can switch between shapes like " " and " " to expand expressive possibilities.

Can also be used as a mild soft filter
In situations without strong light, "PRO1D R-Twinkling Star (W)" can be used as a soft filter with a mild effect.
The grid-like grooves engraved on the filter produce a soft effect, useful for portraits and landscape photography. In such cases, the pattern of the grooves may be reflected in the out-of-focus areas, creating a unique expression different from standard soft filters.

A cute cross shape that sparkles, "Twinkle Star"

"PRO1D R-Twinkling Star (W)" is a filter that makes strong point light sources like illumination shine with a star-shaped cross effect. It can be used for night scenes, fireworks, and star photography. It also works on reflections on water surfaces and dappled sunlight. It can make light sparkle more and create a fantastical glow.

Standard cross filters tend to produce overly long rays depending on the light source, which can be overwhelming in densely lit scenes like illumination. However, "Twinkle Star" uses a proprietary manufacturing method different from typical cross filters, preventing long rays even from strong point light sources, and adding a charming, star-shaped sparkle as if drawn in a picture.

For comparison, Kenko's "R-Cross Screen" is used as a standard cross filter.
