Tiffen 138VNDMATTEBOXMNT Overview

Tiffen's 138mm Variable ND in Matte Box-Mountable Rubber Donut for 143mm Openings provides approximately six stops of variable neutral density control without taking up any filter tray space. The variable ND is incorporated within a rubber donut that fits into a wide variety of matte boxes with a 143mm rear opening. It features a minimum of two and a maximum of eight stops of light attenuation.

The variable ND has no impact on the field of view that a standard donut that accepts a 138mm filter has, so there is no change to your workflow or shooting style. It features evenly spaced index marks from two to eight stops, but these are not calibrated marks and do not indicate amount of attenuation. A 114mm threaded rear ring accepts ARRI R2 compatible threaded reduction rings. The rubber donut is compatible with matte boxes from ARRI, Tilta, Movcam, Vocas, and Bright Tangerine.

Up to six stops of VND (Variable Neutral Density), with a minimum of two stops going up to eight stops (ND .6 to ND 2.4)
Fits directly into select rod-mounted matte boxes with a 143mm rear port
Rubber donut is supplied with a 114mm light prevention ring, which accepts ARRI R2 compatible threaded reduction rings
The outside of the ring features non-calibrated indexed markings for minimum and maximum settings

question

Hi,I own the Bright Tangerine Misfit Atom. I only see the Misfit in the compatibility list. Do you know if it will work? Thanks
Asked by: Dave L.
Sorry, but the Tiffen 138mm Variable ND in Matte Box Mountable Rubber Donut for 143mm Openings is too big. The front, the part that mates with the matte box holds is 143mm so it can hold the 138mm filter. This means it is bigger than the rear of the Misfit Atom which takes a maximum of 114mm. To do what you wish, you may have to go with a screw in 114mm filter or another matte box.

question

Hi there, Will this filter fit in an arri mb-20 system ii mattebox?
Asked by: Anonymous
As long as the matte box has the MB-20 Back 138mm Bellows Adapter, yes this will fit. 138mm is a long standing standard for cinema matte boxes.

Hi there, Will this filter fit in an Genustech Production Matte Box Complete Kit?
Asked by: Edwar Marcelo
Not that we are aware of. This product is for Matte Boxes with a 143mm Rear Opening, the Genustech does not have such an opening.

question

What accessory/adaptor would I need to used this with 77mm Veydra lenses?
Asked by: carter
Please visit the Tiffen webpage for this item for further information at http://tiffen.com/about-138_vnd/ including a compatibility chart and photos showing how it is used. You may need to use a step down ring to prevent a light leak in between your lens and the 138 VND.
