The NiSi Allure Streak Orange 2mm (77mm) produces elongated orange streaks from point light sources. Use it to mimic the characteristic horizontal highlights of anamorphic optics without changing lenses. The filter works when placed perpendicular to a point light source such as the sun, a bulb, or a candle.
The filter contains fine parallel lines placed 2mm apart. When a high-contrast point light source appears in the frame, the lines create symmetric, horizontally extended streaks. This effect draws attention to highlights and can add a cinematic, dramatic look to your image or footage.
Use the filter on scenes with distinct point light highlights that contrast with the surrounding image. For example, streetlights, candles, or small studio lights will produce clear streaks. Position the filter perpendicular to each point light source to achieve the intended horizontal elongation.
The filter threads are 77mm. However, you can use step-rings to mount the filter on lenses with smaller filter threads. The package includes a padded pouch for storage and transport, helping to protect the filter when not in use.

Question: How do I position the NiSi Allure Streak filter to get the best effect?
Answer: Position the filter so its lines are perpendicular to the point light source. This alignment creates the greatest horizontal elongation of the highlight and produces the intended streak effect.
Question: Which light sources work best with this filter?
Answer: Use point light sources such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. The filter is most effective when the light source is a highlight with a clear contrast compared to the rest of the image.
Question: Can I use the 77mm filter on lenses with smaller threads?
Answer: Yes. You can use step-rings to mount the 77mm filter on lenses with smaller filter threads.
Question: Does the filter include any protective accessories?
Answer: Yes. The NiSi Allure Streak Orange 2mm 77mm comes with a padded pouch for storage and transport to help protect the filter when not in use.
