Ryan Constantino Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I just picked up a Zeiss LWZ2 which is a 114mm front and I have an Arri MB18 which comes with a filter ring with rubber donut that says it has a 114mm diameter. However there is the slightest gap between the ring and the lens. Here is a photo: https://imgur.com/a/u9DhLMy Is this normal? I would be concerned about a little bit of light getting in there. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyryll Sobolev Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) looks like the filter ring is missing a ring which sits on the inside of the rubber like this, with the text printed on it - http://www.photocineshop.com/library/K2-47190-0-01-J0KL.jpgotherwise yes, you wil have light leaks that will bounce off your filters and into the lens Edited May 11, 2018 by Kyryll Sobolev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Constantino Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 Thanks for the reply. Yes you are correct I had to reach out to Arri for the part number. Appreciate the suggestion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Malamatinas Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Whilst youre waiting you can just use/make a neoprene donut to prevent any light coming through the gap. We often use them ever when we do have the correct sized rings as it can make life easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
