Arri MMB-1 doesn't align with lenses

[Kenneth C Merrill]

I have a Red Scarlet with a WC Bottom Plate and 15mm LW bracket, and I'm finding that my Arri MMB-1 doesn't quite stand high enough to perfectly socket the 80mm ends of my lenses.It sits probably 3mm too low, leaking light from the bottom. Has anyone had this experience? Is it an issue with Arri or with the Wooden Camera accessories?

Thanks for any insight!

Post a picture of your setup. This shouldn't be happening.

I'll be on a shoot with it Monday. I'll post a picture then!

Is it a top load or side load? I had both years ago and recall they needed different LWS adapters.

Here is my setup. I don't know what is going on, but I can't get these images to post right-side-up! Really sorry about that. Hopefully you can figure out what's going on.

To answer Ben's question, my MMB-1 has a top-load and a side-load tray.

Hey Kenneth,

It's not an issue as you would think, all you have to do is to push your mattebox until the back actually goes over the lens, you may have to move it yourself a bit with your hand from the front of the Mattebox.
IE: Push the mattebox closer to the lens, and lift the Bellow Rubber ring so it fits the lens!

I don't have this matte box but there seems to be two different LWS adapters available for it.
