Taylor Genovese Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hey everyone, I have a T2i and I have a Chrosziel matte box that I used to use with my XL2. I was looking into trying to get it to be compatible with my T2i but I'm not really sure what steps I should take. Any suggestions? I know I probably need to get a new baseplate and also a step-down adaptor ring that would fit my Canon lenses and the mattebox. I'm just a little lost on what I should do to get started. Any suggestions would be really helpful. Here's a picture, if that helps at all. Thanks everyone! http://imgur.com/JQ357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Yu Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 You are already know what most 2 important things you should do! Just do it! But I think you can find a ring adapter first to prevent lens flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Schweigart Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 You should be fine with nun's knickers to seal off entering light. You will probably need a baseplate thats height adjustable but if you can adjust the height of the mattebox you might be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Genovese Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Awesome! Thank you guys for the responses. I think I'm in a little better of a boat now than just staring at my mattebox not know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
