The filters are available in the 4×5.65″ size which means they are suitable for use in most professional matte boxes. The Clear/Blue/Rainbow True-Streak Filters are 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 lines which only react to point light sources.
