NiSi Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 67mm

NiSi Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 67mm – Creates prominent horizontal orange streaks

The NiSi Allure Streak Filter produces elongated, symmetric orange streaks that extend horizontally from point light sources. Photographers and cinematographers use it to draw attention to parts of the frame or to introduce a cinematic look similar to anamorphic optics, without an anamorphic lens.

What this filter does

The filter works when positioned perpendicular to a point light source, for example the sun, a light bulb or a candle. When placed correctly, each point of light in the scene produces a horizontal streak that emphasizes highlights and guides the viewer’s eye across the frame.

Additionally, the filter’s lines are spaced 2mm apart, which determines the look of the streaks. This spacing helps create the characteristic elongated lines that many filmmakers and photographers find desirable for dramatic or stylized imagery.

How to use it

Place the filter directly on the lens and orient it so the patterned lines run horizontally relative to the desired streak direction. Since the effect depends on the light source and contrast, you will see the strongest streaks when the light source appears as a bright highlight against darker surroundings.

For lenses with smaller filter threads, you can use step-rings to mount the 67mm filter. This allows you to use the same filter across multiple lenses with different thread sizes.

Key benefits and use cases

• Draws attention to a specific part of the frame or creates a visually dramatic effect
• Allows the effect of anamorphic optics without using anamorphic lenses
• Creates orange-colored streaks from point light sources
• Padded pouch included for storage and transport

Practical tips

Because the effect depends on contrast, try the filter on scenes with clear highlights against darker backgrounds. Also, experiment with the filter’s rotation relative to the light to control the exact direction and symmetry of the streaks.

FAQ

Question: How should I position the filter to get the best streaks?
Answer: Position the filter perpendicular to a point light source and orient the lines horizontally to create symmetric horizontal streaks. The effect is strongest when the light appears as a bright highlight against darker areas.

Question: Can I use this filter with lenses that have smaller filter threads?
Answer: Yes. The filter has a 67mm thread but can be mounted on lenses with smaller threads using step-rings, allowing use across multiple lenses.

Question: Will this replace an anamorphic lens?
Answer: The NiSi Allure Streak Filter recreates the highlight streak effect typical of anamorphic optics, enabling similar visual highlights without the need for an anamorphic lens, but it only affects highlights and does not replicate all optical characteristics of anamorphic lenses.
