D.I.Y. Mattebox

[fdirector]

Hello guys, just wanted to share some pics with you of my new/old mattebox. I hope this helps somebody. Why cut boxes and all that stuff? Are you all forgot about old lens hoods??? It costed me about £30. So, check it out.



PS. It not just looks professional, but it also accepts 4x4 ND filters which rotates 360°!

i have a very similar lens hood i got for $20 usd. Can you send a picture of how you mounted it?

I have no idea what to look for when looking at these

and a single 62mm thread mount which doesnt work for a lot of my lenses.

mine fit 1 cokin sized in the back closest to the lens and then 1 or 2 4x4 in the front. My problem is finding a solid mounting solution. I would love to add these to my rods but i am not sure how just yet.
