Key Specifications
  • Filter Capacity: Supports up to four 4'' × 5.65'' filters (including one 138mm round filter) across 3 independent, rotating stages.
  • Minimum Focal Length: 14 mm for 35 mm format lenses; 7 mm for 16 mm format lenses.
  • Weight: ~ 1450 g (3 lbs).
  • Dimensions: 300 × 250 × 115 mm. 
Full Package Breakdown
  • 3-Stage System: Allows for multiple filters (e.g., ND, graduated, and polarizers) to be used simultaneously. Filter trays are available in both vertical and horizontal formats. 
  • 138mm Bellows: Attaches directly to the lens, providing a flexible, light-tight seal for large-diameter lenses and accepting 138mm drop-in circular filters. 
  • Eyebrow (Top Flag): Mounts to the top of the hood to block overhead glare and control ambient light spill.
  • Hard Mattes (Masks): A set of clip-in hard mattes (typically a 6-piece set) designed to perfectly match your lens focal length, maximizing flare protection by restricting the field of view. 
  • Swing-Away Mechanism: Features a swing-away arm mounted to either 15mm or 19mm studio rods, enabling quick lens changes without having to disassemble the matte box. 
Professional Use Context
The MB-18 requires a studio bridge plate and is optimized for heavy prime sets and large cinema zooms. It is highly favored for narrative, commercial, and documentary shoots where advanced light control and complex filter stacks are required. [1, 2, 3]
