I have several filters from them! They make quality products! Makes getting creative easy and fun. Functions well, priced accordingly, also great quality clear glass to put in front of any lens.

this will give you that flare effect that you desire but if there is more than 1 light, it goes overboard making your shots unusable, if you really want the best from this, make sure you have maybe 1 light in the background

This little beast of a filter has been my favorite new tool to use on my last couple video shoots. Makes my job easier because now I can make a rapper or artist look trippy without any vfx. Solid heavy weight feeling to it too. Had never spent this kinda money on a filter before but this one was easily worth it. I'll update this review if anything changes.

Für die Lichteffekte benötigt man starke punktuelle Lichtquellen oder eine Bearbeitung. Aber damit geht es dann. Direkt aus der Kamera sind die Effekte je nach Licht eher etwas schwach.

Filter works adding the blue anamorphic flare but it also has blue ghosting on other bright areas in the frame.

This filter has made my life so much easier . This helps a ton to not have to dive in and take time to edit in effects that never look real, and gives you a stunning image right out of camera. Good buy !

I love this blue anamorphic filter!! Super high quality build and the effects from it are insane. I will recommend this to anyone who is looking to add hella swag to their photos/videos.

I have been in the film + photo industry for 10+ years now, having a tool like this has added so much value to my production. All my clients love the dreamy look it produces, and sets you apart from the pack. Highly recommend. Usually don’t write reviews, but when something so small can make such a huge difference - it’s worth every penny !

This filter is very interesting; as the product description states, it mimics the flares of an anamorphic lens. However, this effect comes with a few caveats.First: This filter creates this effect using small lines of a blue diffusion-esque material. This gives you that anamorphic look but it tends to over-exaggerate, flares are much more solid than a true aspherical lens and become unusable in locations with lots of large light sources. However, this beats buying a $2000 Sirui lens if you don't have two grand just sitting around.Second: Because the filter uses physical material to create the effect it is slightly visible if you look for it, otherwise it disappears into the image. In my experience, this side-effect worsens on wider focal lengths. Third: Once again, because the filter uses a physical material to mimic an anamorphic lens, the autofocus sometimes gets confused. I used this filter on my Sony A7IV with a Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 Lens. At around 24mm the autofocus would freak out every now and then. Once again wider focal lengths accentuate this issue especially when you are focusing on subjects closer to the lens.Pros: This filter is very cool despite the caveats that I discussed. I used it on a short film and I loved it. Is it perfect? No, but nothing ever is. If you are looking into buying this filter I would recommend it. However, if you have a couple thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket buy a real anamorphic lens like a Sirui 100mm. Overall, a great purchase that I do not regret, but be aware of the issues it brings. If you want to use a fisheye lens: Maybe not for you. If you want to get very close to a subject: Not for you. If you want to shoot at a higher focal length in dynamic lighting: This is for you.
