Has a lot of the pro features of the more expensive matte boxes. Very good quality and build.

Originally I was going to purchase a more expensive matte box until I realized if anything were to happen to it it would have been a major loss. These camera/lens accessories are tools, and this tool works just as well as the more expensive ones. B&H offerers wonderful array of film tools to help you on their journey, as well as quick shipping, like the one that came with my purchase. I was able to receive the item before my shoot date and am very satisfied with the item and the service provided by B&H.

Does the MB-T12 has a safety latch or something that prevents the filter trays from falling if you forgot to lock them?
Asked by: Roei
Not really-- you do need to tighten the screws to lock them in, or it is possible that they'll fall out. This happened to me once. That said, they don't fall out *easily*, so you may be lucky.

This matte box has 15mm rod support. With a lens of that size you would need to have the camera on a baseplate with 15mm rods.

question

What are the dimensions and depth from frame to lens mount?
Asked by: Christiaan
We believe you are asking what is the distance from front to the back of the matte box. Our guesstimate would be about 4 /10cm.

I need a donut for this Tilta MB T12 matte box so I can use some still lenses. Any recommendations?
Asked by: Florent
There is a set of six available for the Fotga DP3000 for $20 you can find. I don't know if their outside diameter matches the back diameter of the MB-T12. But for $20 you can experiment.
