DVX100A w/Anamorphic Adapter - Rail Matte Box without "12mm Modification"???

I purchased a used anamorphic adapter on eBay (hope the seller's legit) and am now faced with the matte box question.

I understand the Chrosziel requires a "DVX-MOD" to allow the system to fit the adapter. Are there any cost effective rail systems that work with or without the anamorphic adapter and that don't require "shaving 12mm" off?

I've heard of many manufacturers: cavision, formatt, vocus, etc. But apparently, none are a complete solution if you want light weight and rotating filters.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Anyone have a used mattebox for sale that works with the Anamorphic Adapter?

Thanks,
PF

Hey Paul... The reason you need to shave 12mm off the Anamorphic Adapter is to prevent vignetting.

I've heard of many manufacturers: cavision, formatt, vocus, etc. But apparently, none are a complete solution if you want light weight and rotating filters.

I've heard of people modifying their Cavision mattebox to work with an Anamorphic Adapter. However, if I'm not mistaken, Chrosziel is the only "factory made" mattebox solution. I could be wrong.
