I had this come up in an Instant Film last year and had to make a solution on the spot which was even more "ghetto" than cutting gels!
I took a 650 open face with full CTB (I agree with...

Excellent Noah!
The only spec that I have at my fingertips is the diameter of the rods, which is 15mm. Carbon fiber will be your best lightweight bet, steel will be at the other end of the...

Noah,
If you are going to all the bother of building a mattebox for cosmetic reasons, you might as well make it functional on some level while you are at it.

Kevin,
With a gun to my head, I would take the 1 and 2, I guess. It's best not to go overboard with the Ultracons.
I generally tweak my exposure with the Ultracon in place. I find that since...
