  • 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 :)

1st!

When can I buy one?
 
Jim, you guys are sick! you know that? I just about hit my head when I passed out after seeing that pic! Pray you don't hear from my attorney!

(a free mattebox could probably settle this out of court)
 
Nice looking render. For those of us unfamiliar with real matte boxes, can someone explain all the details of this one? There is a lot of complexity to it, some of which I don't understand. Is there a reason the large ring around the lens opening is knurled? Is that something that screws on?
 
Looks like it would work for most primes but the lightweight rod mount would get in the way of large lenses such as the Angenieux HR 25-250, Cooke 18-100, the massive but ever-popular 24-290 and wide angle primes like the Zeiss 12mm. Looks good for most primes though.

Click to expand...

I'm thinking it might be an interchangeable rubber ring (?) - for a close fit to a lot of different lenses.
 
Ah yeah!!! Jim, that is one fine piece of matte :-).

Price & availability?
 
What I see in the render...

It's a swing-away design, looks to be fairly compact overall. Looks like it can mount to 15mm and 19mm rods.

The bellows, or rubber doughnut (ring that is knurled) is what fits around the lens.

Two rotating filter stages -- 5x65" x 5.65" or 4" x 5.65" ? ...I doubt it's a 4x4 mattebox.

options to mount flags / barn-doors / side wings / whatever.
