The Tiffen 86mm Streak 2mm Self-Rotating Filterfrom Tiffen 86mm Streak 2mm Self-Rotating Filteris a special effects filter designed to render a single light ray from a point light source. This filter features a single series of etched lines spaced 2mm apart from each other, which run diametrically across the filter surface. This filter is set in a self-rotating mount, which can be used to adjust the orientation of the light ray to suit your composition or desired effect. It is constructed from clear optical-grade glass and mounted in an aluminum filter ring.

Single Light Ray from Point Light Source    Etched Lines are Spaced 2mm Apart    Rotating Filter Mount    Aluminum Filter Ring    Optical-Grade Glass Construction

Etched lines spaced 2mm apart produce a single ray of light from point light sources, strong highlights, reflective materials, or metallic surfaces.

Self-rotating mount can be used to adjust the orientation of the light streak.

Optical glass construction and clear filter substrate help maintain the original image quality and do not affect the overall color or contrast.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How is the glare? Should I buy a 86mm lens hood for this ND filter?

A: I haven't had any problem with glare. I didn't see any color shift. I wasted money buying a circular polarizer because the ND filter will do the same thing.

Q: 2. Looks promising, but there's no description of what this filter does. Could you explain its purpose?

A: This Schneider 77mm True Streak Confetti filter helps create bursts of colors around the light source. A combination factor of the focal length of the lens and the brightness of the light source will determine the effect of this filter. Its best use would be for colorful light setups like concert stages or music videos.

Q: 3. Multi coated on the filter for Anti-Reflective?

A: This filter does feature anti-reflection multicoating.

Q: 4. 2 questions. 1: lter also be used as a CPL as you can adjust the angle of the filtration. 2: Does this filter have threads on the front of the filter? Answers appreciated.

A: While both neutral density and circular polarizer filters use polarizing foils, the main purpose of this variable ND filter is to reduce the exposure overall, rather than reducing reflections, reducing glare and saturating colors as a circular polarizer would. As for the threads in front, those would measure 86mm.

Q: 5. Is this the MkII?

A: Yes should be

Q: 7. Can I use this filter with a canon 24-105mm lens and sign 18-25mm lens?

A: Hi, I am not familier with both canon mount lenses, but there are two issues to verify:1. That there is no vigniting because of the filter at wide angle.2. To verify that the filter is a circular polarizer based and no problems with light reading and focusing.

Q: 8. Does this Mk II version allow for a lens cap on the filter? Does it have standard front threads?

A: I just used this for the first time yesterday on waterfalls. I love it!! It comes with its own lens cap included.

Q: 9. Does this filter have hard stops on min & max setting?

A: Yes. There are hard stops on min and max.
