I've seen all kinds of matteboxes and am wondering how do you make the choice on which one, I have never used one so I have nothing to compare to, My XH A1 came with something but now that I have the Letus Extreme and the whole rails thing Im wondering what Mattebox I should use. There is one here in Paris I SAW AT MY LOCAL camera and video shop with just one flap at the top. What should i base my decision on?

Thanks

Miguel,

Check out this matte box from Geardear. It will fit both your 35mm lens or even your XHA1 without blocking the sensor on the XHA1.

check it out here, BTW it is in the E.U and you don't need to pay for import tax.

No worries,

Gerhard is a cool guy, Just tell him you are getting for a 35mm adapter and also for your XHA1, The XHA1 lens mount set comes with a hole for the sensor.
