NiSi Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 72mm

NiSi Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 72mm – Creates prominent horizontal orange streaks

The NiSi Allure Streak Orange 2mm 72mm produces pronounced, elongated orange streaks that extend horizontally from point light sources. You place the filter perpendicular to a point light source to create a look similar to that of anamorphic optics, without using an anamorphic lens.

How the streak effect works

Use the filter so its lines face a point light source such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. When positioned perpendicular to these highlights, the filter transforms each point into a symmetric streak that runs horizontally across the frame. This draws attention to specific areas or adds a dramatic visual element to the image.

Key characteristics

• Creates orange-colored streaks from point light sources
• Produces elongated streaks that are symmetric and extend horizontally from each point light
• Lines within the filter are placed 2mm apart
• Intended to allow the effect of anamorphic optics without an anamorphic lens
• Padded pouch included for storage and transport

When to use this filter

This streak filter works best when the light source appears as a highlight with a strong contrast against the rest of the image. In such situations, the streaks become more distinct and visible. Many cinematographers and photographers choose this effect to emphasize highlights or to introduce an anamorphic-like flare for creative storytelling.

Compatibility and practical notes

The filter has a 72mm thread size. If your lens has a smaller filter thread, you can use step-rings to attach the NiSi Allure Streak Orange 2mm 72mm to lenses with smaller threads. This allows flexible use across multiple lenses without changing the filter itself.

Note

Note!
You can use this filter with step-rings to fit lenses that have a smaller filter thread than 72mm.

FAQ

Question: Will this filter give the same look as an anamorphic lens?
Answer: The NiSi Allure Streak Orange 2mm 72mm creates an anamorphic-like streak effect from point light sources, allowing you to achieve similar horizontal flares without using an anamorphic lens.

Question: How should I position the filter relative to the light source?
Answer: Position the filter so its lines are perpendicular to the point light source (for example, the sun, a bulb, or a candle). This orientation produces symmetric, horizontal streaks that extend from each highlight.

Question: When is the streak effect most visible?
Answer: The effect is most pronounced when the light source appears as a highlight with significant contrast against the surrounding scene. High-contrast highlights produce clearer and more prominent streaks.

Question: Can I use the filter on lenses with smaller threads?
Answer: Yes. Use step-rings to adapt the 72mm filter to lenses with smaller filter threads, which makes the filter usable across multiple lenses without modification.
