Walking Way67MM Variable Gold Streak Filter Rotating Circular Anamorphic-Style Streak Effect Lens Filter for Photography and Videography

This filter definitely made me want to get into night life photography.Also great for cinematic vibes. Highly recommended!

The effect is pretty cool, and it gives you that anamorphic look to light flares. Looks awesome on automotive headlights and street lighting at night. Build quality is nice and the threads are smooth. Price isn't bad either. If you're looking for a cool filter for automotive photography, this is a good one to check out.

Nice quality, easy to use, and adjust filter.I took it into music venue / club environment, and had fun seeing how many of the overhead and stage lights it would pick up, and what it would do with them.Some of my results have a hint of texture to them as I’m using a step down ring from a 77mm lens to a 72 mm filter… but I enjoy the results I’m getting.

Usually, lens flares aren't all that desirable. Still, in the right circumstances, they can add interest and life to your photos. You want them controlled, though, and that's what this filter does.The filter seems well-built. Unlike the blue-streak filter that I purchased from another brand, the glass is tightly place within the filter rings and doesn't rattle. Movement for turning the filter is smooth.I admit to having some hesitation over aluminum filter rings, as they can have trouble with binding, but so far it hasn't been an issue with this one. I keep a filter wrench in my bag just in case.One thing that I will note... I can't tell if the glass is tinted a bit yellow, or if that's just an optical illusion caused by the yellow lines. It doesn't seem to particularly affect my photos (I keep my camera in auto white balance, so maybe that's kicking in to account for it). Anyway, you can always adjust your white balance in post to account for it if necessary, so I don't think it's a big deal.Generally, for filters that I use regularly, I'm a strong advocate for spending a bit more to get good quality. You don't want to throw cheap glass in front of your expensive lens. For an occasional-use filter like this one, though, it's hard to justify spending a lot. This one seems to be of good quality for the price.Overall, I'm happy with this filter. It's not something that you'll want to use all the time (the effect can easily end up over-done), but for those occasions when you need it, it's great.

My experience with Walkingway filters has been pretty positive, and this one is no exception. It has a precision ring, and quality glass. I would typically save an effect like this for post processing, but this has a analog look to it that I would think would be difficult to replicate. The streaks are thicker as the lights become stronger, as you can see in both photos. One was taken at lights far away (sorry for the hand shake). The other at light close up. You can also rotate the filter on its ring to rotate the streaks in any direction you choose.Its a nice effect at a great price. Recommended.

The star effect filters have gotten common I don't think people appreciate them like they used to. I like the streak filter it has a nice easy lens flair effect that isn't so common yet. (Well J.J. Abrams did get carried away with lens flair's.) I do like being able to add a bit of flair in photos without using a photo editor or paying for a add-on. Anything else I could add to my review would be repeating what is already in the ad.I hope that my review is helpful.

I got my best results from this gold streak filter during a daytime shoot with natural light. I don't recommend this for interiors with artificial lighting because the flare doesn't look quite right. Outdoors is the best place to use these, preferably closer to sunset, but not sunrise. The filter gives me a small amount of flare without going overboard and compliments shiny objects like cars or buildings. I'd recommend this filter for people who aren't fully comfortable with adding flare using software, and would rather use a simpler method to achieve a really good look.

This is my fourth or fifth lens filter from Walking Way and I have yet to be disappointed in the quality.If you're looking to dabble in the "anamorphic look" for your videos, but don't feel like shelling out thousands of dollars for custom lenses or messing with a complicated two-lens setup, this thing is really hard to argue with for thirty bucks.It gives you the most visually obvious visual artifact of an anamorphic setup (pulling out bright light sources into "streaks") with the ease of a screw-on filter, plus the ability to adjust the angle (which a real anamorphic setup cannot do).The materials and construction here are top notch. It screwed smoothly onto my Tamron zoom, and the adjustment ring turns smoothly and easily with the touch of a finger. It worked equally well at every length of my zoom range, with no difference or drop-off in quality. Autofocus was unaffected.I will say, the gold "threads" in the glass are quite large/thick, and I found the effect to be rather pronounced... this is *not* a subtle effect. If they offered this same filter in "half strength" I would purchase it as well... although I don't know how they would do that... thinner gold "threads" perhaps?This is absolutely a "special use" filter, and I imagine I'd only want to use it for a very specific creative effect on certain shots. If used constantly it could easily become annoying or distracting. But for $30, it's a very cool trick that might just give that one shot the truly unique effect you've been looking for.

Zuerst die falsche Farbe erhalten, Verkäufer schiebt richtige für umsonst nach, prima.Beide Filter erzeugen einen Effekt der anamorphen Linsen nahe kommt. Je kleiner die Blendenzahl desto besster, bei hohen sieht man das Muster.

Auch ohne Prime kam der Filter sehr schnell an. Der gewünschte Effekt ist sehr gut sichtbar und durch das bewegliche Rad individuell drehbar ohne das man Gefahr läuft den Filter ausversehen locker zu schrauben. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt gut und ich freue mich den Filter bei einem meiner nächsten Shoots kreativ zu verwenden!

Se, da un lato, i produttori di smartphone fanno di tutto per migliorare la qualità delle foto cercando di ridurre il lans flare, dall'altro ci sono filtri come questo della 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘆 che vengono utilizzati proprio per creare questo effetto così particolare. Anche quello che può sembrare un difetto, infatti, se utilizzato con creatività può conferire ai propri scatti un tocco di originalità e di carattere.Il filtro ha un'ottima qualità costruttiva e viene consegnato nella sua custodia di plastica. Si aggancia facilmente e velocemente all'obiettivo e può essere ruotato per creare effetti diversi in base alle nostre preferenze.Utilizzandolo, oltre ad avere il famoso lens flare, gli scatti risulteranno più caldi e con un effetto quasi sognante.A me è piaciuto molto, l'unica cosa che avrei preferito trovare e che invece non è presente è una pezzolina per pulire il filtro.🅲🅰🆂🅰🅻🅸🅽🅶🅾 ​ 🅳🅸🆂🅿🅴🆁🅰🆃🅾 🏡🕷️

El título es un poco en broma, pero no jejeje. Lo que se consigue con este filtro es un efecto lens flare similar a lo que ve la gente con astigmatismo. Pero en modo bien, ya que el "defecto" añadido es similar a lo que tanto le gusta a J.J. Abrams en la fotografía de sus películas (buscad "star trek lens flare" y veréis a qué me refiero 😂).Recibimos el filtro en una cajita de cartón (en realidad plástico fino), que a su vez dentro contiene una funda de plástico rígido. Esta funda alberga una espumilla recortada a tamaño exacto del filtro, lo que le evita que reciba golpes ni rebote dentro de la propia caja de almacenaje.A nivel construcción se nota bien bueno, es todo metálico, con su perfil exterior con un sutil dentado para ayudar a su enroscado/desenroscado, e igualmente con otro dentado frontal en la parte rotativa de delante. Gira fino y con una resistencia agradable que nos permite precisar bien el ángulo del efecto. Eso sí, me parece súper peculiar que se vea el rayado azul horizontal en el cristal de manera tan evidente. Si lo usas en un retrato, tu modelo lo notará rápido 😁Su uso es trivial. Enroscar en el paso de rosca frontal de nuestro objetivo favorito, previo retirar cualquier otro filtro que tengáis puesto, y ya tenemos el efecto funcional. Al ser un filtro rotativo, podemos orientar el flare a nuestro gusto. Personalmente soy partidario de dejarlos tan horizontales como pueda, queda más guay ✨Dejando de lado las bromas del principio, el efecto de lente anamórfica conseguido está bien, es bastante cinematográfico, aunque un tanto exagerado a mi gusto. Lástima que no podamos regular su intensidad. Lo recomendaría especialmente cuando fotografiéis escenas en las que haya puntos de luz de fondo, brillos intensos o reflejos, ahí notaréis el efecto del filtro a tope. En otros casos no notaréis nada, como en fotografía de naturaleza o en la mayoría de retratos con luz natural (por citar algunos ejemplos). Básicamente de cada punto de luz/brillo tendremos un destello azul intenso, prácticamente neón, que cruzará toda la imagen de izquierda a derecha, en diagonal o de arriba a bajo según lo hayamos rotado. Personalmente creo que hubiera estado mejor que el destello hubiera ido decayendo a medida que nos acercamos a los laterales de la imagen. Hubiera sido más realista y menos bestia.He probado con distintas aperturas y a priori el efecto del flare veo que varía poco, por no decir que prácticamente nada.En resumen, si para vuestro proyecto necesitáis brilli-brilli, a delante. En escenas con luces nocturnas fliparéis, es el punto más álgido de notar el efecto. Para otros temas a lo mejor os cansaréis rápido de ello por ser demasiado bestia. En mis ejemplos salen muchas rayas debido a que las bombillas son en realidad una colección de leds.
