Look at this mattebox

I thought these things are supposed to make your camera look cool.

Some guy is selling his plans to build your own DIY mattebox. Check out the finished product. Lol.

no light will ever stray into that lens.

 

[scharky]

That is just plain stupid.

Guys, that's not a mattebox.

It's to keep the camera from biting at itself. Those wounds can get infected.

LOL. That looks like the softbox for my Britek light kit. Hmmmm, maybe I should try that save myself some money on the Chroziel unit.

I bet you could point the lens right into the sun and you wouldn't even get a flare.

Pretty much every comment so far has got me rolling. You guys are some funny mofos.

I'm going to buy it and use it to search for radio signals from alien civilizations.

ROFL! Look at that extender pole for the hot shoe. There might as well be steam powered spider legs put on that thing so it can chase after will smith in the desert.

It looks like the exhaust hood above my stove.

 

[mjmcneese]

I bet there's no vignetting.

I'll bet your boom guy won't be able to see any of the actors if he's standing anywhere near the camera.
