Re: Vocas vs. Chrosziel...Opinions?

I've owned/used both and I prefer the Chrosziel personally. Vocal are great matte boxes, but the Chrosziel just feel slightly better made and are 'silkier' in operation, very smooth rotating trays. Thay are also a bit lighter than the Vocas system. Chrosziel are a bit more expensive than Vocas, but not much.

I prefer the way the side-flags attach/work on Chrosziel system; better design and thought out. German engineering and design at it's best; the Mercedes of matte boxes.

Try both and see which you are happy with. Chrosziel are the industry standard though; and for good reason in my opionion.
