Mattebox

Mattebox, modeled after the legendary Konica Hexar, is a luxury point and shoot which is powerful enough for the professional photographer, yet easy enough for the complete beginner. With amazing image quality, intelligent controls and a clear, beautiful viewfinder. As Ben explains...

"I borrowed the Hexar’s moving brightlines, which discreetly indicate the aspect ratio and focal distance. From the Mamiya 7, I took the superimposed shutter speeds. Next, I created a custom dual-stage shutter release button. This gives you consolidated focus and exposure lock. Most importantly, I took the indefinable feeling of using the Hexar, and made I sure Mattebox gave me that same feeling. With Mattebox, I finally feel that the iPhone can hold its own as a premium point and shoot. I still carry my Hexar and other cameras, but Mattebox is the only one I use every single day. I hope you love it as much as I do!"
