I just received my Chrosziel anamorphic mattebox with side flags. All I have to say is "WOW." Now, I searched long and hard for the cheapest place to buy this setup. All of the U.S. companies who distribute it add anywhere from $200-600 onto the list price that Chrosziel states in their catalog. I'm not sure why. Anyway, I figured if I contacted enough of their distributors worldwide, I would find one that would sell it for list. I found it through the Canadian company Sono Video out of Montreal. http://www.sonovideo.com/
I worked with Leandre Lancieux. He was friendly and answered all my questions.
If you are in the market for this matte box, it's still not cheap, but this is THE place to buy it as far as I'm concerned. If you're wondering, it cost me a little under $1900US for everything, including rods, base, matte box, 72mm stepdown when I don't use the anamorphic, side flags with mounts. The whole deal.
Now, one thing I'm having a problem with . . .does anyone know how the matte box is secured to the lens? It seems to be a little top-heavy and the rod bracket is letting the matte box lean slightly top to bottom. Is there any way to attach the lens to the box? This is without the anamorphic lens, so anyone who has a regular Chrosziel might be able to answer too.
Also, does anyone have DIY instructions for modifying the anamorphic lens? Haven't done that yet.
Thanks!
