The purpose of this filter is to recreate one of the most recognisable characteristics of traditional anamorphic cinematography:
When a strong light source enters the frame, the filter creates elongated blue streaks across the image.
K&F describes the effect as an anamorphic-style blue linear flare, suitable for both still photography and video.
It's particularly effective with:
š” Street Lights
š Car Headlights
š City Lights
š¤ Stage Lighting
š Neon Signs
š¦ Point Light Sources
š
Bright Highlights
A particularly useful feature is the ability to rotate the filter.
The orientation of the streak effect changes as the filter is rotated, allowing the photographer or filmmaker to determine the direction of the blue flare rather than being restricted to one fixed position.
That means you can create:
ā Horizontal Streaks
/ Diagonal Streaks
| Vertical Streaks
or rotate the effect dynamically while filming.
Users of K&F's Blue Streak filters specifically note that the outer ring rotates smoothly to reposition the streak angle.
A true anamorphic cinema lens can be extremely expensive.
This filter doesn't turn a conventional lens into a genuine anamorphic lens ā it specifically recreates the streak-flare portion of the anamorphic aesthetic.
That's an important distinction, but it's also what makes the filter appealing.
You can add the characteristic blue streak effect to an existing conventional lens simply by screwing the filter onto its 82mm front thread. K&F users report particularly striking results around bright lights and night scenes.
K&F uses premium AGC optical glass in this Nano-Klear filter.
The glass is precision polished to help retain:
ā Image Sharpness
ā Clarity
ā Natural Colour
ā Fine Detail
while creating the intentional streak effect around suitable highlights.
The optical glass features:
designed to reduce unwanted reflections and ghosting while maintaining image quality.
This is particularly useful for an effect filter intended to be used around bright light sources, where uncontrolled reflections could otherwise interfere with the intended flare.
The filter is housed inside an approximately:
constructed from CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminium.
The slim profile is designed to help minimise the risk of vignetting, particularly when working with wider-angle lenses.
This particular version is:
and therefore screws directly onto camera lenses with an 82mm front filter thread.
Compatible camera brand is largely irrelevant ā what matters is the lens thread diameter.
It can therefore potentially be used with suitable lenses from:
ā Canon
ā Nikon
ā Sony
ā Sigma
ā Tamron
ā Panasonic
ā Fujifilm
ā Other Brands
provided the lens itself has an 82mm filter thread.
ā ļø Buyers should check the Ć symbol on the front of their lens or lens cap. An Ć82 marking normally indicates an 82mm filter thread.
This type of filter really comes into its own when there are strong individual light sources in the frame.
Great situations include:
š Night-Time City Scenes
š Automotive Shoots
š” Street Lighting
šø Concerts
š¬ Cinematic Night Scenes
šļø Urban Photography
šµ Music Videos
The effect is generated optically in-camera rather than needing to be recreated afterwards in editing software.
Blue streak filters have become particularly popular for automotive photography and video because headlights naturally provide strong point light sources.
A vehicle's headlights can produce long blue streaks across the frame, creating a stylised cinematic or sci-fi appearance.
K&F users specifically highlight automotive headlights and street lighting as good subjects for this type of filter.
Remember that this is intentionally an effect filter.
It is designed to alter the appearance of highlights.
The strength and visibility of the blue streak will vary according to:
ā Light Source
ā Lens
ā Aperture
ā Shooting Angle
ā Distance from Light
ā Exposure
ā Filter Rotation
It therefore won't produce an identical flare in every photograph or video clip.
For the Nano-Klear Blue Streak range, the retail presentation includes the filter and protective storage packaging; users of this exact 82mm version also report a hard protective case and individually packed cleaning cloths.
For your returns stock, however, I would still make your photographs definitive rather than guaranteeing those extras.
