[8-Point Star] EXCELLENT BASIC SET OF FILTERS ! ALTOUGH SOME CAME A LITTLE DIRTY ! NOTHING THAT T A FEW DROPS OF CLEANING FLUID COULDN??T SOLVE !

[8-Point Star] I bought this matte box to be used with a minimalist rig I set up: a small mirrorless camera, zoom 16-35 on a Speedboster,microphone and a cage. Didn't want a box with flags, and that was another reason to choose this model. Considering the relatively low price, I didn't set my expectations too high. Well... What a surprise: I got a well thought, designed and built matte box. The two trays, one fixed and one rotating (the one closer to the front lens) allow the use of a polarizer and ND at the same time, or color correction filter and polarizer, or whatever the need is for a specific situation. The design of the box doubles a a lens shade, which so far as proved very efficient and accomodating wide-angle lenses. My 16-35 on this camera is equivalent to a 22-50, and it is well protected from stray lights or flare from side lighting. I also got step-up rings made by the same brand to accomodate 3 other lenses. They are relatively cheap, and with an external diameter of 83mm to clamp the matte box tightly. If flags are needed, there are threaded holes to mount them. I use glass filters of the same brand, which have the right thickness for the tray. Synthetic/polymer filter may be too thin to fit without 'curving'.

[8-Point Star] The only thing I notice: the size is not the same, someone are a little bit more large and you need to put a little pressure to fit in place. But that the only thing.

[8-Point Star] It's a nice set of filters to use in my matte box with french flag.

[8-Point Star] Tiffin has been the standard of excellence in filters for well over 50 years and of course B&H carries them. If you want the best look to B&H

[8-Point Star] This is exactly what you would expect... a thin, gelatin filter that is extremely fragile. I wouldn't recommend any gelatin filter if it is going to be exposed to the elements... too fragile. Wratten filters are engineered with very high qc standards and are recognized as such by the fact that many scientific laboratories utilize Wratten filters for their optical equipment. If you have a need for a filter that passes or restricts specific frequencies, I would suggest purchasing a Kodak filter guidebook so you know exactly which filters will satisfy your needs, and then buying the corresponding Wratten filter. If you don't have such exacting needs, you may be better off going with a filter system such as Cokin, where they will be slightly more durable.

[8-Point Star] I use these in my 4x4 Tilta matt box for my Nikon D4 for movie shooting. There are all glass and come wrapped in a nice soft cloth inside of a good quality filter pouch. Great set for the price!

[8-Point Star] They are a MUST HAVE!!!! we also bought the Cavision Mattebox and with my HVX200 it looks like 16mm!!!!

[8-Point Star] This little beauty works so well on my little PXW-X70. I use it mainly with a B&W 3x3 polariser. The filter holder itself works just as well in the field as anything by Vocas or Chriszeil. The first stage rotates smoothly. Unfortunately there is no tightening screw to keep the first stage in place. To tighten it you need an Allen wrench to hand. And as anyone who uses a clamp-on matte box knows, you really need to tighten the filter holder notch once you've put the filter in or it will fall out the bottom, there being no rails to prevent it.

Apart from that, no complaints. The rubber lens hood is the same size and shape as a standard Fujinon broadcast lens. You can use the good old Cavision French flag with this matte box.

[8-Point Star] I truly love the feeling of my pictures using this!!!! It’s a game changer
