Excellent quality & great value
£60 at time of review

I rarely hand out five stars... Great little matte box, nice and light weight, but feels good and strong, plus comes with an excellent storage case. Comes with 67, 72, 77, 82 & 95mm adapter rings, that simply screw onto the front of your lens, then to add the matte box, simply place it onto the ring, level and tighten the lever on the side.

Filters are held in place by a filter frame, you simply slide them into place, as they drop into place and aren’t sitting in a groove the frame will accommodate 1.8mm & 2mm filters without rattling issues, the frame itself slides in from the left and clicks into pace, you can also stack filter frames. The top flag can also be locked into position and locked closed.

A really neat feature, the adapter rings have the same size filter threads on their front face, allowing additional circular filters to be added directly to the front of the lens, also means when you move from place to place you can attach your lens cap too.

As the filter itself sits about 5cm in front of the lens you’ll need to consider the physical size of your lens and focal length. A lens as wide as a 20mm will likely suffer vignetting… not a fault of the box, just something to consider.

For £60 I’d say this is excellent value for money, it’s very nicely made
