much much smaller flares than traditional star point filters
**update** added a couple pics showing effect on sequins - I may have had a 1/8th black diffusion filter on some as well I'm not certain.
This is a very enjoyable filter whose star tails are far less destructive / invasive than the standard starburst filters. Excellent for direct lines of sight for small scattered LED's, they also add tails to flares from shimmer walls and such, though less organized and pronounced. Comes with multiple microfiber cloths for keeping your whole kit clean this is a good deal for a very functional and effective filter. I don't want to share any of my current images but will try to shoot some just for this review shortly. If you have say a LED strip light with many diodes, like a grow light as an example, the effect is overpowering. For a string of spread out fairy lights it's much more whimsical.

When I photographed my home this spring with a regular starpoint my landscaping lights just turned into a full frame flare-spectacle in a way that was quite distracting, I'm looking forward to redoing that image now with this and it should have a much more quaint feel.

I got the 77mm for use on my 5dmii and have been shooting with my 24-105mm F4.
I will continue to experiment and update this review with more nuance and images soon.
