Frequently Asked Questions


What size Matte box safety should i go for?

This all depends on what lenses you use most often or what you want to be prepared for.

The 12" safeties generally are a good length for Zeiss superspeeds, K35's, Cooke Panchros, other short lenses and Signature primes, most other Cooke lenses, Master anamorphics, Angenieux EZ zooms, Panaspeeds, Primos etc. .

The 18" safeties are better fitted for ZOOM Lenses like the ARRI Alura, Cook Optimo, Angenieux Optimo Zoom or other long zoom lenses.
