The Schneider 6.6x6.6" 3mm Violet 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" 3mm Violet 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 a violet 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, orange, yellow, green, blue, or pink banding instead of violet 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 3mm apart from each other. True-Streak Filters with spaces of 4mm, 2mm, or 1mm 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. Would a round 67mm fit, albeit tightly, or is 62mm truly the max size? I'm hoping to keep the case size small.

A: I pulled a 67 from another case and it fits just fine and is not tight at all.

Q: 2. how many 2mm shims come with this set?

A: The ARRI Impression V Filter Kit comes with 3x LPL 2mm mount shims.

Q: 3. Some reviews mention that there is an opening on the bottom which could allow dust etc into the pouch. Are there any pictures which show the bottom?

A: Yes, there are slight openings on the bottom but shouldn't affect any dust getting in.

Q: 4. Does this bag hold the large Lee Filters 150x170. Confusing when filters are mm and pouch description is inches. I don't trust my conversion skills since I calculate a 150 x 170mm filter = 5.9.x 6.7 inches or a 4x6 in filter = 101 x 152. Based on this, the pouch would NOT handle the 150 series Lee Filters. Agree or disagree?

A: You are correct. It will handle filters up to 100mm wide (4 inches) and 152mm in length (6 inches). The Lee 150x170 filters are too big for this pouch.

Q: 5. Will it fit a Z series filter holder?

A: The Ruggard 5-Pocket Filter Pouch is designed to hold filters up to 4 x 6" with 5 pockets for each filter, which would make for a tight fit for the Cokin Z-Pro Series Filter Holder (B&H # COFHZP). The filter holder can be attached behind the case with the Velcro strap. Alternatively, the Ruggard Protective EVA 10-Pocket Filter Case (Up to 4 x 6"), B&H # RUFCV3108B should allow for the filter holder and filters to fit. Then there is the Haida Case for M10-II Filter Holder (B&H # HAHD4708) that should work for the filter holder alone.

Q: 6. DOES IT WORK WITH THE TELCEL 5G NETWORK IN MEXICO?

A: The Sony XPERIA 1 IV 512GB 5G Smartphone (Violet), B&H # SOX1IVV, is unlocked and should work with most carriers but we could not guarantee it. You should confirm directly with your carrier, ultimately, they operate the network and are the only ones who can tell you with absolutely confidence whether the device supports 5G in your specific region or not.

Q: 7. would it be possible to fit a graduated filter in this pouch?

A: As long as it's less than 86mm it will fit.

Q: 8. Do you think it would be possible to cram two B+W Plastic Filter Case D's (MFR # 65-1071524) inside it (so that it has extra dust/scratch protection in the plastic case, and additional padding protection from the Ruggard Pouch)?

A: I'm going to say probably not. Looking at the specs of the plastic case, and the way this pouch is made, I highly doubt even one would fit. This pouch has 4 slots tat hold up to 82mm, but the slot dividers are stitched together, then stitched inside the pouch, making it a snug fit just for filters. I took a photo to show you, but I don't know how to post it.

Q: 9. Circular filters ? Fit

A: Yes, most circular filters will fit in this case.

Q: 10. I saw in the mobilespecs 1x3.00 GHz Cortex-X2 , 3x2.50 GHz Cortex-A710 , 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A510 is it correct ?

A: The specifications are correct as listed for the Sony XPERIA 1 IV 512GB 5G Smartphone (Black) BH #SOX1IV. Performance: Operating System Android 12 Memory 12 GB Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon8450 CPU Up to 3 GHz Cortex X2 Single-Core Up to 2.4 GHz Cortex A710 Triple-Core Up to 1.7 GHz Cortex A510 Quad-Core GPU Adreno 730 Storage Capacity 512 GB
