I'm sure there are many of you out there that have 77mm filters that you would like to have the opportunity to use in a matte box when need be. I have a large collection of 77s that sit idle when Matte box is in use. Recently I received Hoya ProNDs as they are supposed to have a rather neutral color throughout the higher densities. Not quite TrueND but approaching that league. They only come in screw on filters at the moment. But for some things I feel a matte box is the best option to get the best contrast.

So here is a solution that works in my O-Box. It's from Lock Circle and it's a plate that allows you to screw on your 77 then drop it into a 4x5.65 tray like any other filter. What I wasn't sure about was whether I would then also be able to get a second 4x5.65 tray in the box. The answer is yes. That was great news. Here is the link

It's towards the bottom.

I've been using LockCircle's MAT BOX with 4x4.5 77mm rotatable filter tray. Works perfectly out of the box. Highly recommend
 
Thanks for sharing
