Warp - Spektrem Effects

This filter makes 2 copies of your subject and adds motion blur it the middle of the image. This effect is unlike anything you have ever tried before.

• 77mm filter thread size
• The glass protrudes over the front of the filter, you cannot stack other filters in front of the Warp filter.
• Rotatable filter when attached to the lens.

This is a really interesting filter; usually, we're putting our subject in the middle of the frame and blurring around the edges (like with the Stretch filter), but in this case that's flipped and the blur is what you'll be looking at the most. It forces you into finding creative compositions and looking at your subject in a different way.

As you'd imagine, a filter that adds blur to the middle of your shot might confuse your AF system. It depends on your gear, but expect to need to use manual focus with with this filter.

Need a step up ring to get a filter to work with your lens? Add some to your order here. Please consider how using this filter with a different sized lens will affect the image. For this style of effect I think it should work pretty similarly even when on a smaller lens as the effect crosses the whole front, but you should be aware that if you were using a 77mm filter on a 58mm or smaller lens, that the blurred section in the middle of your lens is likely to take up a larger portion of your image simply because it is covering a larger part of the lens. 

About Spektrem Effects

Spektrem Effects is a one-person independent brand based in the USA creating handmade filters in small batches.

These are experimental creative tools rather than mass-produced, laboratory-perfect optical filters, so minor variations or signs of the making process may be present. Results can also change depending on your lens, lighting, aperture and how the filter is positioned.

Rigu is the exclusive distributor for Spektrem Effects products in the UK and Europe. You can get their creative filters quicker, cheaper (after factoring in shipping and import costs from the US), and without the hassle of dealing with customs.
