The Schneider 6.6x6.6" 1mm Orange True-Streak Filteris designed to be used perpendicular to a point light source such as the sun, a light bulb, or a candle. Within the filter's glass is a combination of fine line types whose action is limited to point light sources. Upon those light sources, those lines create the effect of a scene or image that has been recorded with an anamorphic lens and then displayed using a complementary reverse projection lens. This can result in prominent, elongated streaks that are symmetric and extend horizontally from each point light source for the purpose of drawing attention to a specific part of the frame, or to create a visually dramatic effect.

If an image or footage is captured with an anamorphic lens for the primary purpose of obtaining a greater aspect ratio than what is possible when only using spherical lenses on a 35mm format, the direct result will appear compressed and distorted. Projecting this compressed and distorted footage or imagery through a reverse anamorphic projection lens allows elements within the scene to be viewed in their correct proportions. A complementary effect of this process after it is completed is the creation of elongated, blue-colored, horizontally symmetrical highlights from point light sources that can extend through the frame.

Many cinematographers and photographers find this effect desirable and the Schneider 6.6 x 6.6" 1mm Orange True-Streak Filter is intended to allow such highlights to be easily reproduced when using optics that do not have an anamorphic design. This filter renders the streaks it helps to create with an orange hue, instead of the blue highlights generated when using traditional anamorphic optics that are not designed to suppress streaking. True-Streak Filters that are formulated to create red, yellow, green, blue, pink, or violet banding instead of orange are also available, as well as Clear True-Streak Filters that can allow existing colors or lack of colors displayed by point light sources to be maintained.

The line types within this filter's glass are placed 1mm apart from each other. True-Streak Filters with spaces of 4mm, 3mm, or 2mm between their lines are also available where this filter type's effect becomes progressively stronger as the spacing between those lines is decreased.

This filter is most effective for pictures where the light source used to generate the streak effect is a highlight with a significant degree of contrast from the rest of the image. It is constructed from water white glass for clarity as well as color fidelity.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the bag have adequate padding inside to protect the camera and tablet?

A: it's for urban and travel purposes. as such the bag is very versatile and expandable, but only the portion to hold the camera and tablet has padding and that padding is fairly light. it's not intended to be thrown on the ground, but i have no fears for the safety of my equipment when used as intended. Perfect for mirrorless camera with a lens attached and an additional lens or flash. If you intend to use the expanded section for equipment you need to have it either in a padded case like those that come with most flashes or binoculars or a padded lens case. You can also fit another padded storage compartment in the expanded section for equipment not kept in cases. like i said very versatile bag for MFT/mirrorless.

Q: 2. Will Canon EOS 7D with 15-85 IS + 50MM 1.8+ Speedlite 600EX-RT + Extra Battery will fit into it?

A: I fit a camera of comparable size and lenses in the bag - Nikon D800. You'll be able to fit the camera and either an additional lens OR a speedlite inside the bag. There is an additional pouch outside the bag. I fit a water bottle in this pouch. It's not secure though so you may not be comfortable placing expensive equipment in it. Additionally, the padded liner inside can be removed to create more space. I take out the padding when I'm shooting with a battery pack/grip on.

Q: 3. I like the size and design of this bag but the padding is only available at the center. Generally, I put my mirrorless with one lens in the center divider. But another flash and lens needs individual protection is unfortunately NOT provided here. What's your solution?

A: I would recommend using a wrap to keep other valuable items protected. You can view the options by clicking the link below; https://bhpho.to/2w9nInP

Q: 4. Can it accomodate a Nikon D810 with an attached 24-70?

A: I wouldn't recommend it. That combo is 12 inches long and would take up most of the room in the bag lengthwise with the dividers removed. You would have no room for any extra lenses or a flash, only room for an extra battery and a filter or two. If you only need this one lens and you don't carry a flash, it will work. But I recommend something larger for this combo. Try the Lowepro website. They have a bag finder app that matches your equipment to the bag(s) that will accommodate it. Good luck.
