Schneider 4 x 5.65″ Rainbow True-Streak Filter

The Schneider 4 x 5.65" Rainbow True-Streak Filter, available at Lightbulb Rentals, is crafted specifically for use perpendicular to point light sources such as the sun, light bulbs, or candles. Featuring a unique combination of fine line types embedded within its glass, this filter enhances scenes captured with anamorphic lenses. By projecting light through a reverse anamorphic projection lens, it creates elongated, symmetric streaks that draw attention to specific parts of the frame, adding a visually dramatic effect. Designed to replicate the effects of anamorphic optics on highlights, even with non-anamorphic lenses, this filter produces streaks that span a continuous spectrum of colors. From intense sources, streaks may showcase up to seven sequential colors-red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, and violet-while less prominent sources display a more limited color range based on their position in the frame. Crafted from water white glass, the filter ensures optical clarity and fidelity to preserve the original colors of the scene. It includes a padded pouch for convenient storage and transport, making it an ideal choice for cinematographers and photographers seeking to enhance their visuals with striking, colorful streak effects.
