Description

The dual-purpose filter for astrophotography and portrait photography – the STC Star Mist filter, officially debuts in 2024!

In the era of digital photography, even when the night sky is filled with sparkling stars, digital cameras often capture them too sharply, making them less noticeable compared to the naked eye. Therefore, STC has developed a filter that incorporates sub-micron transparent microcrystals used in liquid crystal processes to create a specialized mist effect. This enhances highlights (making bright stars more prominent) and enlarges the halo effect, without excessively impacting the landscape or degrading image quality. This allows the stars to be more pronounced and the bright stars to appear larger and brighter, presenting a more beautiful starry sky.

Through testing, this characteristic also proves to be well-suited for portrait photography. Unlike Cine Mist (black soft) filters, the Star Mist filter provides a bright tone, softening overly sharp lines and reducing excessive contrast. When light is properly diffused, it can also enhance the halo effect, adding an airy ambiance, making it an excellent choice for the new generation of portrait photography filters!

Want to be ready for any lighting condition without bulking up your kit? Our clip filter is a natural fit. STC has engineered a clip filter that fits perfectly in the Nikon APS-C.

Our patented inlay design has been upgraded so that you can quickly swap out the right filter as your shooting conditions change. 

Features

  • Star Mist strength grade: 1(Stronger), 2.
  • Patented glass inlay design means the filter will not become distorted under stress or expand or contract due to temperature changes.
  • Frames are specifically designed to for each camera manufacturer. Easy to mount and swap out. 
  • Double-sided anti-smudge nano-coating protects your filter and your sensor.
  • Antistatic coating keeps dust and fibers away.
  • CNC machined aluminum alloy which is non-magnetic and durable.
  • Covered by the world’s first global warranty and repair service for filters.
  • The product is only sold after being thoroughly tested by collaborating photographers in Taiwan, Japan, and Iceland, ensuring it meets professional standards.
        • Installation Instructions

          Due to varying QC standards across camera brands, even models of the same brand may have manufacturing tolerances. If the internal filter frame doesn’t fit properly, please contact STC support or headquarters. Do not force installation.

          Disclaimer 

          STC’s Clip-in filters are innovative and rely on the camera’s internal structure for stability. Minor marks from installation may occur but do not affect camera functionality or warranty. STC will not cover these marks or offer compensation. Please consider this before purchasing if reselling your camera is a concern.

           Notes

          • The star enlargement effect varies depending on the brightness of the environment (stars) and different lenses, and not all stars can be enlarged.
          • Levels 1 and 2 are STC production specifications, not official standards, and cannot be quantified or compared with the soft mist effect of other brands.
          • The Star Mist effect of Level 1 is stronger than that of Level 2. For astrophotography, it is recommended to purchase Level 1, while for portrait photography, choose according to your needs and preferences.
          • As each manufacturers lens design is different, blurring around the edges may occur with some fisheye or super wide-angle lenses. This is normal.

          • After you mount the clip filter, autofocus for your camera will automatically adjust to the change in optical axis.

          • Please check the Supported Camera & Len List before purchase.
