The NiSi Allure Streak Blue 2mm 67mm filter produces prominent, elongated blue streaks that extend horizontally from point light sources. Use it perpendicular to a light source such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle to achieve an effect similar to that of anamorphic lenses.
Place the filter so its lines run perpendicular to the point light source. The patterned lines within the filter generate symmetric streaks that radiate horizontally from each highlight. As a result, the filter simulates the visual signature of anamorphic optics without requiring anamorphic glass.
Many cinematographers and photographers seek this look to draw attention to specific parts of a frame or to add visual drama. The NiSi Allure Streak Filter lets you create those highlights even when you do not have access to anamorphic lenses. It works particularly well when the light source forms a highlight that contrasts strongly with the surrounding image.
In practical terms, the filter’s lines are spaced 2mm apart, which shapes the streak pattern. Because the streaks are blue-colored, they add a distinct color cast to the highlights. The filter ships with a padded pouch for safe storage and easier transport between shoots.
Attach the filter to a lens with a 67mm thread. If your lens has a smaller filter thread, you can use step-rings to adapt the NiSi Allure Streak Blue 67mm filter to that lens. Note that effective results depend on having a point-like highlight with a strong contrast to the surrounding scene.

Question: How do I position the filter to get the best streaks?
Answer: Position the filter so its lines run perpendicular to the point light source. This alignment produces symmetric, horizontal streaks that extend from the highlight.
Question: Can I achieve an anamorphic look without an anamorphic lens?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi Allure Streak Filter is designed to create streaks that resemble the highlights produced by anamorphic optics, allowing you to recreate that visual effect even without anamorphic lenses.
Question: Will the filter work on lenses with smaller threads than 67mm?
Answer: Yes. You can use step-rings to adapt the 67mm filter to lenses with smaller filter threads, as noted by the manufacturer.
Question: When is this filter most effective?
Answer: The filter performs best when the light source appears as a highlight with significant contrast to the rest of the image. High-contrast highlights produce the most pronounced blue streaks.
