EX3 Fujinon Wide Lens - Too big for matte box?
 

I love my EX3, I love my new Fujinon wide zoom (which is so much better than any adaptor I've tried btw). Problem now is I need a matte box.
The Indikit 'Broadcast' model I ordered (their top of the range) sadly does not work. It is a well-made, reasonably-priced piece of kit, but it is too small for this lens - okay top to bottom, but way too narrow. The frame looks like a pillar box image. This lens is around 100 mm across - will I even be able to use 4" filters?
Having spent so much on the lens, I have a limited budget - please can anyone advise?
Thanks.

With big front end lenses you do usually need to use serious matte boxes (ie espensive). 4" filters will be fine but you'll need something like a Vocas MB200 or more, or a big Chrosziel. Will be about £400 at least.

Thanks Steve. The Indikit one is £399 anyway. Will check out the ones you mentioned.

VOCAS SYSTEMS BV MB315 is the entry level full size matte box, actually about £800!

I have a Chrosziel CMB-R20, it has a 110mm aperture. They probably produce a 100-110 step to suit. About $800us with a french flag and 2 4x4 rotating filters.
