Sparkle4 reacts to point light sources and lifts them within the image as a subtle cross effect. Streetlights, reflections, and small highlights in backlit scenes trigger four quiet rays extending vertically and horizontally. By controlling surface reflections of the glass, softness is added not only to the light source itself but also to the surrounding area. The effect is tuned to remain usable not only at night, but also in strong daylight or backlit scenes. As a Layer-X PLUS filter, it can be stacked only when needed, adjusting the impression of light without disrupting the image’s overall rendering.
Sparkle4 is a cross filter that responds to point light sources, bringing light to life within a photograph. Four subtle rays—vertical and horizontal—quietly emerge.
It reacts to streetlights, reflected light, and small light sources appearing in backlit scenes, naturally emphasizing the presence of light.
By carefully controlling reflections on the glass surface, it renders not only the light source itself but also a gentle spread of light around it. The effect is tuned for ease of use not only at night, but also in scenes with strong daylight or backlighting.
Layer-X PLUS Filter
The Layer-X PLUS Filter is an optical filter that attaches magnetically to the front of the Layer-X BASE, adding optical effects to your images.
Cross, ND, and CPL filters can be layered easily whenever they are needed, expanding creative possibilities during shooting.
Even when a PLUS Filter is added, the increase in thickness is just 3.4mm.
It can be used with wide-angle lenses equivalent to 24mm without noticeable vignetting at the edges of the frame.
A magnet is also built into the front, allowing multiple PLUS filters to be stacked together for easy storage and transport.
A Layer-X BASE Filter is required to use the Layer-X PLUS Filter.
