Matte box for 6x lens
Does anyone know if the chrosziel matte box that fits the 20x lens can be adapted to the 6x lens? It would be a shame if it can't easily be swapped across.

if the diameter is right it will fit.
just check 16x9inc.com and see what it is compared to the 6x front element. the problem you may have is that it may be too "deep" so you will have the sides/top of the mattebox in the frame. We have the Chrosziel sunshade and it works great, but is not as deep as the matte box.

It will fit. The problem is getting a focus gear that mates with the 6x and the Chrosziel follow focus.

If you have two trays in your mattebox, you'll need to have 4x5.650 filters in the second tray for the 6x wide.

Not a big deal to work around. But it would be nice of someone, anyone, made a proper gear ring. Somehow I suspect that the number of 6x lenses sold by Canon is so small that no one's bothered making the gear. |

Will check with Chroziel at NAB this year - a rep usually can be found hanging around at the BandPro booth.
Last time I checked Chroziel's website it was very rudimentary - not much info. Agreed on the desire for a real lense gear. Awesome lense. Hoping the XDR Flash Recorder breathes some life into the XLH1 sales so further development will be forthcoming. |
