[Konvas] OT: Rubber Bellows for a mattebox

[Camak, Lael (US - MGTTS)]

Thanks Rita, 
Yeah, I was thinking of trying neoprene, but was wondering if the lens port in a flat piece of neoprene would extend far enough over my different lenses.  I guess I could make a couple of different sized donuts that would work, but I'd need to figure out a way to attach them to the mattebox.
 
A rubber bellows like I've seen on Arri MBoxes would be great.

Lael,
 
I had the same trouble many years ago.
 
Cut up an old wet suit. Tear off the lining material and you have very flexible neoprene. I eventually bought a small roll of the stuff from a diving shop. Measure the width of the lens and substract 10% so the hole is a snug fit.  Fit the rest to the mattebox. Neoprene glue is pernament so should last a long time. Otherwise cut up an old car inner tube.
