  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Just got a Duclos 11-16mm and need an 80mm ring for the Red Pro Matte Box. Anyone know where to source an appropriate ring for the Red Pro Matte Box?
 
And just why would you want to use it with the RED mattebox? Unless you're shooting cropped to 3K or 2K, the mattebox will vignette your frame at those focal lengths.

That said, RED is supposed to have an 80mm ring coming... You can use most any 110 to 80 delrin spacer ring for other clamping matteboxes.
 
Hey guys thanks for the replies.
Any recommendations on matte boxes that would not vignette the 11-16mm at 5k?
Asked Mat Duclos but he hasn't tried it on an Epic with the Red Matte Box.
Thanks
 
Really? I use mine with an MB19 all the time and that doesn't vignette. I thought the red MB was a wide angle MB?

RED MB is a "wide angle" mattebox, but the AOV from that lens on EPIC at 5K is about 150 degrees. I've put the two together and seem to remember that there is an issue. I don't recall the specifics, I will try to get the various pieces together later today or tomorrow and reconfirm. MB19 is a bit bigger/wider as it's designed to accommodate a deeper filter stage and still have clearance for an 18mm or lower on full aperture S35.

The MB28 clears with room to spare -- can confirm that for sure, but it's a big mattebox. Matt Duclos sells a compact 4x4 mattebox (or he did) which will clear the 11-16.
 
Jeff, thanks for checking this out. ordered the 110 to 80mm ring for the Red Pro Matte Box so won't be able to try all the pieces it until it arrives.
