Now i know that Matte box's are a bit of a touchy subject for some, some people saying they are deff needed whereas others suggesting they are just for looks. I am completely neutral and understand the flags will block unwanted light and enables you to use filters but then also understand it adds weight, you can block out unwanted light with a lens hood and can easily screw on filters onto your lens. So i dont wanna go down that route.
I just wondered if anyone had found or made any videos that showed how they benefited? Like setting up outside with the matte box on then taking it off or in a studio and then compared the contrast? Or anything that illustrates the benefits.
I have checked the net but didnt find much, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Any videos or really useful inputs will be posted up on my new blog - http://dslrfilm.co.uk
Thanks in advance.
