You need some good, sharp highlights, e.g. B. if you point it directly at a bright light to get the most out of it. When you do that the effect is great and it's good at mimicking the blue streaks you get from anamorphic lenses. You can rotate it to any angle, which is handy for switching between portrait and landscape modes, but anything other than horizontal stripes looks odd to me. Probably just because we're used to seeing that in movies.

Aside from the blue stripes, it's otherwise very clear and hardly detracts from the rest of the picture, which is great.

The best filter I've ever tried. Unlike the other filters I've tried, the image from a DSLR actually looks like film.

Not only did this filter provide the flare look I was looking for, but it added a cinematic softness to everything shot through it. Streaks are really noticeable with extremely bright sources (like the sun), but you can get some great effects if you light them acid-free like I did with an LED flashlight

This Blue Streak filter comes in a beautiful K&F Concept branded cardboard box (sealed in a plastic wrap). Inside the box is the filter, well protected in a handy protective case. A small cleaning cloth is also provided.

The 77mm diameter frame of the filter is well made and feels quite sturdy. It screwed my lenses and step-up rings on and off with no problems. It also rotates smoothly so you can change the angle of the flare effect to your liking.

The quality of the glass is also very good without any significant problems. Due to the thin frame, I didn't have any problems with vignetting either.

The Blue Streak filter effect is great for recreating the Anamorphic Flare effect. In this case, flare from a light source appears as a stretched horizontal line, rather than circular bokeh. With care, this can really add impact to your image and can also be used to give your image a different mood or atmosphere. It's a useful effects filter whether you're shooting, filming, or both.

In summary, this is a well-made filter for adding anamorphic flare effects to your photos and/or footage. While it may not quite live up to the standard of far more expensive filters, unless you're a professional filmmaker who needs the absolute best, it should be perfectly good enough for what you need.

Good anamorphic filter for photos and videos

I was looking for filters that would offer a stylistic boost while maintaining image quality. I came across this filter and decided to give it a try. Great price, fast shipping and a company that really cares. take my money Over time I look forward to getting more of their filters as well. Try this product.

I've been in the film and photo industry for over 10 years now. Such a tool has added great value to my production. All of my clients love the dreamy look it creates that makes you stand out from the crowd. We recommend. I don't usually write reviews, but when something so small can make such a big difference, it's worth every penny!

Find the golden flare effect very successful. Everything fits on the Canon R5. With a bit of twisting you can adjust the flares. I highly recommend the filter to get a little more cinematic effect.

I've been a photographer for over 10 years now and this is by far my new favorite gadget! I take it with me everywhere.
