The Cavision MB4512-H2 is a wide 16x9 Hard Shade Matte Box. Matte boxes control light better than a regular lens shade and offer the videographer the ability to use high quality 4x4 and 4x5.65 glass filters for image effects.

Q: 1. Can it fit on DSLR's?

A: Hi JoseIt depends on the lens / sensor combination you chose to use. My configuration works just fine; Sigma 17-50 2.8 zoom on Canon 60D (APC sensor) Wider lenses will produce vignetting. Beware that the weight of the Mattebox can stress the lens if it is not sturdy enough - consider buying railmount? (zoom lenses often protrude when in use)

Q: 2. I'd like to use this hood on a wide angle converter lens (16x9 Inc. 169-HDWC8X-72 EXII 0.8x Wide Angle Converter) with the Sony FDR AX-100 camera. The hood web site says it can work with a bit wider lenses. The outside diameter of the converter lens is 98mm (with a filter size of 105mm - I don't understand but those are the numbers I keep getting?). I prefer to not use rails for this small camera. Thanks

A: The rear clamp for this matte box is 85mm and cannot accommodate 105mm or 98mm. As far as not using rails, such a small camera cannot accommodate such large conversion lenses and matte boxes without them.

Q: 3. how to connect this matte box with 24mm rokinon cine lens?

A: These clamp onto the external diameter of the front of the lens - in this case 83mm diameter.

Q: 4. The 85mm lens opening sounds non-standard. If the cinema lenses I'm considering have an 80mm opening, is it safe to expect this matte box to be able to clamp down from 85mm to 80mm in order to grip the cinema lens properly?

A: The Cavision 3x3 Matte Box Package has a flexible material draw-string light trap that will accommodate lenses from 85mm down to 50mm. This will prevent stray light from hitting the filters in the matte box from the rear.

Q: 5. what is the min/max filter thickness that will work with this matte box?

A: This matte box will work with any 4 x 5.65" sized filter. The standard for such a filter is 4mm thick.

Q: 6. Does this include plastic or metal filter trays?

A: The matte box comes with one of each 4x4 and 4x5.65 metal filter tray.

Q: 7. can this matt box fits my sony z5u lens if I use a 72mm ring adapter?

A: I don't know that particular lens, whether it moves in and out much. However, I use the matte box with several prime lenses with 72mm IR filters mounted on the front.

Q: 8. Can fit Cokin P Series filters (86mm)?

A: Is Cokin P filter 84mm in width instead of 86mm? cokin "P" filters fit loosely in filter stage slots only without using a filter tray. You can use filter tray locks on the side of the matte box to hold it in place.

Q: 9. Is this also compatible with the Panasonic AG-UX180 camera?

A: We do not recommend this system for a Camcorder the size of the UX180. This system is designed to work with DSLR cameras and lenses, which may have a smaller outer diameter. While the lens on the UX180 does not have a large filter thread, the outer diameter of it is what you need to watch out for. In our opinion the Redrock Micro microMatteBox Deluxe Bundle with a 142mm Lens Opening is a safer bet. You would just need a Baseplate system to go along with it.https://bhpho.to/2cdsxgxhttps://bhpho.to/2ejXTXc

Q: 10. Is there no way to close all the way? Ie fold in the sides and fold down the eyebrow?

A: When using the LanParte MB-02 matte box you would lower the top flag with the side flags on or remove the side flags. The Side flags fold to allow you to lower the top flag.
