Anybody ever used one of these?
WIDE ANGLE SUNSHADE/FILTER HLD - Schneider Optics (http://www.schneideroptics.com/ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=1080&IID=1341)
It's not as cheap as it looks at first glance...$195 for the basic thing, $95 for the adapter ring, and $155 for the filter tray. Light and no rails needed, but only one filter slot.
There's also the Lee bellows:
LEE Filters | Lens Hood - Wide Angle - with TWO Filter | WALH2S (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/146769-REG/)
Which is about $350 with adapter ring, and it has two filter slots. Back in my film days we always used these instead of matte boxes. Lightweight and flexible, no rails required.
