Can a 105mm Matte Box fit the Nikon 14-24mm? The lens has a diameter of 98mm. The lens is huge and not many companies produce filter adapters for it, there is but very expensive. I am going for a matte box but didn't had any experiences with it. Saw this product from ProAim and it looks quite promising. Any suggestions fellow videographers? :)

Are your concerns regarding because of the difference in diameter the matte box wont screw on?

hmm guess you can go about two ways,
1) Get a step up adapter
2) I guess the best option is to get a base plate with rails.And mount ur Mattebox on to the rails. By doing this you wont have to worry about lense diameter if you have to keep switching ur lenses.

I can always get a longer screw to secure it or rails as you suggested. The problem is the wide angle on a Full Frame DSLR. Though they claim it's for wide angle lenses, i'm not really sure if used with a Nikon 14-24mm at it's widest will cause vignetting. That is my main concern.
