JimMcGee Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Hi, I am looking to get a matte box for an IF lens. There are many out there like the Tiffen Filter Flex, Shade/Vocas MB 300,320,350, Century Optics etc. I am inclined to go with the Tiffen but would like to hear any personal preferences or recommendations. Many thanks for your help. Peace & Aloha, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 I'm not a fan of the Tiffen mattebox--very flimsy design. The Vocas is much in my opinion. Chrosziel is even better still. Van Dieman makes a very nice clip-on (the Mosquito), and Petroff has some new models (distributed by Ste-man). Cinetech makes a very nice system and the stuff from JBK Cinequipt is supposed to be nice but perhaps bulky. Visual Products markets a carbon fiber mattebox made in South Africa and if you want inexpensive there's always Cavision in Canada (but made in China--plasticy stuff but it does the trick). Lots of choices out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
