I am looking at these two options for a new Weapon.
At BT website it say Viv "covers lenses as wide as a 14mm Cooke S4 and still uses 3 filter stages. Use RED Pro Zooms at 5K."
At OConnor site it says "The OConnor O-Box WM is a two-stage mattebox designed around the 16:9 format full-size sensor. A wide-angle system, it accommodates lenses up to 18mm (and in some cases wider)."
Does this mean that neither system will work with the Canon 11-24mm f/4 zoom lens?
If the answer is "Yes", does this mean I must use only screw-in filters?
Once the Weapon arrives, I anticipate the Canon 11-24 will get a lot of use.
Thanks for the help.

OK, I found the answer in a lens review:
"With its monstrous front element, it is not currently possible to fit any filters in front of the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM (the lens allows for rear gel filters though). So if you are intending to fit a polarizer or gradated filter on the Canon, you are out of luck because it only accepts slot-in gel filters at the back."
Sorry to bother.
