marc barbé Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Hi, For 16 and S16mm shooting, would you say a 4X4, two (one rotating) stages matte box would cover most situations? Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on your style and shots. Think about what "most situations" entail for you. I personally like having at least 3 stages with 2 rotating so I can use a Grad filter and a Polarizer simultaneously. Then a third for some kind of diffusion, ND or Color Correction. You have the option of renting screw-on filters for a specific job that go on the lens if 3 slots isnt enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "most situations" I mean not being short on equipment each time the environment and natural light are not helping... So I gather I should invest a little more and go with a three stage box from the start? Regards, Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
