Q: 7. Is there a step down for 100mm? I’m looking to use it on some Schneider Xenon FF Cine Primes and their outer diameter is 100mm.

A: There is not a 100mm option for this. You could look at the Wooden Camera Zip Box Pro 4 x 5.65" Matte Box (100mm, Clamp-On) instead, B&H # WO266800. This is a great option for a clamp-on matte box for lenses with a 100mm outer diameter. https://bhpho.to/2FAi3s2

Q: 8. I'm using a Sony FS7 with the Zeiss LWZ.3 21-100mm. How can i adjust the mattebox on the rod to make sure it will fit my front lens (114mm). I don't see anything to adjust the heigh of the mattebox?

A: The MM4 mattebox does not have a height adjustment. With the correct step down ring (130mm to 114mm MOV-301-02-004-108C), the mattebox can clamp directly onto the front of the lens. Using the Movcam FS7 / FS7 II baseplate and riser would allow for cinema standard height alignment if you choose to go a different route for your camera support.
