homiebrotha Posted February 26, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi, I am a cinematographer with a set of ND filters and other creative filters that are all 4 x 5,65. I am looking for a solution where I can use all these filters with different Leica m lenses instead of acquiring new filters. As of now, I have the Leica SL2 with the Leica Summilux M 21mm, Summicron M 35mm asph and the Summicron M 75mm asph. They all have different front diameter filter sizes. Suggestions? Alternatives if there are not god solutions for the 4 x 5,65 filters? I mostly need ND filters for being wider open when shooting with my Profoto strobes against the sun/daylight, since there is no HSS at the moment, and I would of course also like to be able to use my more creative filters as well.

podfilms Posted November 20, 2024 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2024 Hello. Did you find a solution? I am looking for a matte box solution for my M35 f2 lens on canon R5C camera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J S H Posted November 20, 2024 Share #3 Posted November 20, 2024 As mentioned in the other thread started by podfilms, with the appropriate adapter ring, this small matte box can clamp on to lenses from 95mm down to 52. It looks like it can also accommodate a circular filter in conjunction with the 4x5.65 filter. If the lens is smaller than 52, then you would need an intermediate step up ring to bridge the gap. It will probably work fine with your larger lenses, but may be a bit fiddly with the smaller diameter lenses. I don't have any personal experience with this item, as I use a larger matte box for lenses with 114mm fronts. But it looks to be well designed. https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-mini-matte-box-lite-3575.html Welcome, dear visitor!
