Petroff 4x5 Matte Box

Post by Simon Wyndham » January 19th, 2013, 9:14 pm

I have put up my Petroff 4x5 Matte Box up for sale.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330860639301

This is a highly robust matte box designed for rugged use in the 35mm film production world, and is ideally suited for use on ENG cameras, FS100/700, F3, EX, F55 etc. It comes with two rotating filter stages, and due to the modular design a 3rd can also be added. Comes with substantial top and side flags, all fully width and height adjustable.

If you want a matte box that will last this is the one to go for. They cost over £1200 new, and although it isn't as stylish (read dainty) as many of the newer matte boxes on the market that are seemingly designed for posing with, the Petroff one is a piece of kit that will put up with true day to day rigours of shooting.

Zacuto, who now distribute Petroff in the USA, have also made a swing away device that can be used with this matte box to turn it into the swing away variety to make lens changes more convenient.
