As a novice photographer, I found this 6 Point Variable Star Lines filter to be an incredibly interesting lens to try. It adds a beautiful, customizable starlight effect that makes night scenes, city lights, and even jewelry shots look more vibrant and artistic. The adjustable 6 point star design gives me plenty of creative flexibility, letting me experiment based on lighting conditions and style. I also appreciate the clear, vivid results. The sturdy aluminum alloy frame feels durable, yet the filter itself is lightweight and easy to carry for outdoor shoots. Overall, this lens filter is priced very affordably, making it a perfect choice for beginners like me who want to explore creative photography without spending too much.

This filter adds magic to Christmas lights. Good for photo or video. Makes ordinary holiday images special. Recommended.

Yup, no complaints... K&F does it again by releasing a product that works perfectly fine and is somewhat reliable. The lens filter itself feels pretty well build, I can't tell if it's all glass layers or not, but the part that is visible and touchable feels like a good quality glass. It mounts properly on a 77mm threaded lens, works with other filters as well in case you'd like to use a CPL and this (not sure why you'd do that...) or a ND Filter + this Star Lens Filter.
The effect it creates is really nice, it makes light sources look like christmas stars, probably something you'd use to take photos of christmas lights without any Post effects.

I ordered this K&F CONCEPT 82mm Variable Short Line Star Lens Filter (6 Point), Cross Screen Starburst Filter-18 Layer Coating Optical Glass with 3 Cleaning Cloth (K Series) to use in specific and limited situations.
I own quite a few "special effects" filters and the impulse to overuse them can be almost overwhelming at times. I've discovered that careful and judicious use of these filters can add to a portfolio but overuse marks you as a total beginner.
There are times when I want to add a star pattern to a point source of light, and this filter from K&F Concept does well. The filter produces a 6-point star pattern with evenly spaced spikes. The length of the spikes is well-controlled so that they do not overwhelm the elements of your photo. The quality of the glass is good. The filter did not introduce flare, distortions, or softness to my images.
If you are looking for a star filter, this one from K&F is worth looking at. I always recommend that you purchase any filter in a size large enough to fit your largest diameter lens and use stepup rings to fit it to smaller diameter lenses. Larger filters cost more upfront but they will be a "buy one filter for all my lenses" situation.

This filter delivers on producing a nice repeatable star pattern in my photos! I like how the star effect is limited, I have a different filter that produces large overlapping stars. The metal ring on the filter has even threads that attach easily to my camera lens. Rotating the filter changes the angle of the star effect so you can adjust it to your preference.
A quality special effect filter to add flare to my holiday photos!

I have purchased plenty of K&F CONCEPT lenses for my photography however, I have never tried a special effect lens like this for night photos.
It works as advertised; offering a star effect to lights as pictured and is fairly easy to figure out the best way to use it. It will take a few practice shots upon the first use to get the use down-pat. Once you get the hang of it, you'll know exactly what to do.
The effect is pretty neat when you've got the right angles, exposure, and lighting tuned in for the photo.
As with all my previous experiences using the K&F CONCEPT product, this provides the quality I expected.

I couldn’t be more happy with the end result of this filter. If you ever want those sparkles and twinkles of the lights to stand out, use this filter. It works on most catches of light. It’s more prominent when using this in dimmer settings but it can be seen clearly even in light. This will be so cool if you’re taking pictures of Christmas tree lights or the lighted star on top of the tree. I’ve played around with this lens before photographing the street lights. I think it helps to tell a story when you catch the starlights in your pictures or even in someone’s eyes. This comes with two microfiber cleaning cloths and a solid storage case for protection. The inside of the case has two finger holes to keep you from touching the glass off the filter while storing or taking it off the case. The case can even be used long term due to the good quality of it.

Some people like to use image editing to add things like light flare, and I understand that offers more flexibility and adjsutability than using a star filter, but being a traditionalist I believe the best photos are produced in the camera, not the editing software. Using a star filter on the lens lets you produce the best image possible, from the start, and enhances your photographic skills. This K&F star filter works well on several of my cameras; I used it with both zoom and fixed focal lengths on my Nikon and Sony gear. The rotatable filter lets you line up the 6-branch star burst specifically how you like it. The filter has an excellent coating which both protexts the lens as well as reducing flare and saturation. I don't use a star filter a lot, but it makes for some great night shots when I travel.

Ordrered in 82mm thread size, K&F's short ray star filter delivered expected results. The greater the intensity of the light source, the greater the prominence of the star effect. As with all variable filters, the front section of the filter can be rotated to change the angle of the star streaks, while the rear section of the filter is threaded to your choice of diameter.
Bundling the filter with three microfiber cleaning cloths was a nice touch, and the storage case for the filter is of a simple, straightforward design. I would have appreciated having a label of some sort on the case for quick identification, but that's such a minor niggle that I can't fault K&F for not doing this, given that they likely use the same case type for many other filters.
All of the attached images were shot using a combination of the Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 Z lens, paired with a Nikon Z6 II body, with each image shot wide open at f/2.8.
