Instruction manual

The lightweight matte box is fastened to the front of the
lens with a clamp ring. To ensure a close fit there are lens
adapter rings for the different lenses. For zoom lenses (with
the exception of the Zeiss-Vario-Sonnar f 1.8 / 10 -100) a
round rubber hood should be used; for fixed focal length
lenses (and the before-mentioned Zeiss-Vario-Sonnar) a
rectangular rubber tube should be used. As the lightweight
matte box is used mainly for news reporting, a rotatable filter
stage is unnecessary. A holder takes two 3" x 3" filter
frames. Should the Vario-Sonnar f 2.8/ 10 -100 mm be used,
the focus lever can be extended forwards with an extension.
With fixed focal length standard lenses which have a
rotatable front ring for setting the iris diaphragm, we
recommend the use of the additional support for attaching
the lightweight matte box to the lightweight support.
