The Cavision 4x4 Bellows Matte Box Kit for DVX-100 and XL2 features 15mm carbon rod support and a french flag. This model comes with a 72mm adapter for the Panasonic DVX-100 and Canon XL2. Matte Boxes control light better than a regular lens shade and offer the user the ability to use high quality 4x4 glass filters.

Bellows adjustment allows for maximum flare protection and adjust from 35 to 150mm.

The rod support system takes the weight off the camera lens and allows bellows and vertical adjustments.

Allows for more light control from lens flare.

4x4 Glass Filters can be used with one stationary holder and one rotating for polarizers and gradient filters.

Q: 1. Two questions: 1) is it necessary to use a lens designated as macro with this bellows and 2) if using a lens without a manual aperture ring (Nikon), it will stay wide open, is that right?

A: Question 1, no you don't need to use a macro specific lens with the bellows. Question 2, the bellows unit doesn't any sensors on it to connect with your camera, meaning everything is going to be manual. The rails on the unit do get in the way at times if you plan on using a ring flash.

A: Yes, it will attach.

Q: 5. Hypothetically, could you adjust the rails to turn this into a tilt shift adapter too? Mainly using it at the shortest distance so it doesn't effect infinite focus? Also is infinity focus effected when the bellows are fully retracted?

A: It can not be used for tilt shift. It is a macro rail so it can not go to infinity.

A: The diameter has no bearing, the lens mounts to the bellows via the rear mount.
