Horizontal Flare Filter

[Adam Eden]

Hey does anyone know what the name of the Tiffen filter that flares horizontally only. IE If you point a Red head or Blonde from a distance without a filter you get a big flare, But with the appropriate filter you get horizontal flaring only.

See attached JPEG

Less expensive and maybe more available. Horizontal Streak in several colors + all the usual Star/Cross etc.
