Q: 1. It says in the description that this mattebox works with a rod system or with the adapter rings. The pictures do not show any connectivity to rods- is that an extra accessory? Is the description wrong? Can it connect to 15mm rods?

Q: 8. can I ise it for Canon17-40mm lens?

A: Yes, at least if yours came with a 77mm adapter ring. I bought mine to use with the Canon 18-80 cine lens which also has a 77mm filter thread. I haven't actually used that combination, but I doubt that 1mm wider will cause vignetting.

Q: 9. How does this attach to the lens without rod support?

A: It is straight forward if you have a lens with a 77mm filter thread. Screw on the 77mm adapter ring. You then clamp the matte box to the ring. If you have other sized lens, you can use rings that adapt to the 77mm ring.

Q: 10. How does this matte box connect to lenses?

A: If you are using lenses with a threaded diameter then you also need to order the appropriate screw-in adapter ring / rings that go into the lens and then the matte-box clamps onto the outer ring circumference
