Hey guys I'm trying to figure out if there is any way I can find an adaptor to use my Chrosziel matte box (411-50 P) 4x4 in a Lumix GH2... does anybody knows an adaptor that could do the job? and maybe a place to buy it?
 
HeXman,
I first had the same reaction as above, but I realized not ALL matte boxes work on rails.

Your matte box "clamps" onto the end of the lens, you'll need the right adapter for each thred size of your lenses, I dont think standard step up rings will work,

http://www.chrosziel.com/prod_list.asp?wdid=21&pos=17&sid=0 seems to have many sizes. I think your best bet is to contact them.

If it was me, Id buy ONE of the official adapters, say 72mm, then buy cheap threaded step up rings for all my lenses to bring them to the 72mm thread.

Also, you CAN get an attachment that will let you put the matte box on rails, and then it doesn't matter, you just need the felt type cutouts.
