Alfred Chrosziel has been pioneering mattebox systems for filmmaking and broadcasting for 30 years. Now Alfred Chrosziel and 16x9 Inc. solves the issues of shading and filtering when using front-mounted lens accessories on Panasonic AG DVX-100 cameras.

Chrosziel's new 411-53PK Mattebox system offers professional features cinematographers request including a housing that covers both 16:9 and 4:3, a filterstage for two 4x4 filterholders—one fixed and one rotating, a French flag, a 16:9 mask and even a provision for sidewings.

Chrosziel's elegant solution employs a lightweight rectangular adapter plate that conforms to the shape of the anamorphic attachment and the rear mattebox opening. The plate's round cutout interior directly interfaces the original camera lens. Various adapters (85mm-105mm) facilitate the slick addition of Century Optics .7X Wide Converter, 1.6X Tele Converter or Panasonic's own .8X Wide Angle Converter.

To ensure a secure mount, the system includes a lightweight support, mattebox rods, and a center bracket customized to the DVX-100. Shooters have the option of adding the Chrosziel DV Studio Rig Follow Focus system for true cine-style feel and function.
 
Re: New Matt Box (16X9)

..this mattbox system has been out and available for quite a while now.but the 411-53p is the one the requires the anamorphic lense to have its hood shaved down to 1mm, but most places will do that for you as part of the sale. the new version uses a different mount which may not require the lense shade modification.

charles.. heres a nice link to the whole chrosziel setup. for the regular 411-53p so you can get the idea of the functionlity anyway.

This weekend we shot using the Cinetactic oversized flag($37.50) velcro'd directly onto the hood of the Anamorphic lens and it worked superbly.  Velcro'ing (4x4) filters onto the hood was tricky at first but once I got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing.
