NiSi Filter Allure Streak Blue 2mm 82mm

NiSi Filter Allure Streak Blue 2mm 82mm – Creates prominent elongated blue streaks from point lights

The NiSi Allure Streak Blue 2mm 82mm filter produces clear, horizontal blue streaks from point light sources. It allows filmmakers and photographers to recreate the visual character of anamorphic highlights without using anamorphic lenses. Use it to draw attention or add a dramatic highlight effect in your images and footage.

How the filter works

The filter is designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source, such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. When positioned correctly, the etched lines in the filter create elongated streaks that extend horizontally and remain symmetric around each bright point. In this way, the filter simulates the highlight behavior typical of anamorphic optics.

When to use the Allure Streak Blue

Use this filter when you have clear, high-contrast highlights in your scene. It is most effective where the light source stands out strongly from the surrounding image. Cinematographers and photographers commonly apply it to emphasize a specific area of the frame or to introduce a stylized, cinematic highlight without changing lenses.

Key features

• Draws attention to a specific part of the frame or creates a visually dramatic effect by stretching highlights horizontally.
• Allows the effect of anamorphic optics so you can achieve anamorphic-style streaks without anamorphic lenses.
• Creates blue-colored streaks, adding a specific color character to highlights in the scene.
• Padded pouch included for storage and transport, helping protect the filter between uses.

Compatibility and usage notes

Note! You can use step-rings to fit this filter on lenses with smaller filter threads than 82mm. Additionally, for best results, align the filter perpendicular to the point light source so the streaks form horizontally and remain symmetric.

FAQ

Question: How should I position the NiSi Allure Streak Blue to get the best streaks?
Answer: Position the filter perpendicular to the point light source so the etched lines produce symmetric, horizontal streaks that extend from each highlight.

Question: Can I use this filter on lenses with smaller threads?
Answer: Yes. You can use step-rings to adapt the filter to lenses with smaller filter threads than 82mm.

Question: What kinds of light sources create the strongest effect?
Answer: The filter performs best with point light sources that have high contrast against their surroundings, such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle.

Question: Will this replace an anamorphic lens?
Answer: The filter reproduces the specific highlight streaks associated with anamorphic optics, allowing you to achieve that highlight effect even without an anamorphic lens.
