Kinor (2 perf and 4 perf), Konvas 35mm cameras, accessories

Bruce Taylor · July 14

It's been awhile and I need to clean out my storage area.

I have complete former Soviet Union camera systems modernized to Western standards (motor controls, video taps, BH perfs). Kinor 35H bodies in both 2 perf and 4 perf configurations. A Konvas or two, one with Olex's crystal sync motor mods. These cameras are in their original OCT19 lens mounts, the Lomo lens sets I had for them were unfortunately sold some years ago. (Although I do have a 50-500mm zoom that needs work and a Lomo anamorphic adapter for the OPF18 zoom.)

I have a bunch of support gear as well, a Mitchell mount tripod, a Sachtler 150mm bowl tripod, 150mm no name baby legs, hi hats, O'Connor 50 and 100 heads, a jib arm with extension, dolly with ABS track, Cinema Products CP6 zoom motor/brackets and much, much more.

Located in Los Angeles. Local in-person sales preferred. I'll create a more precise list soon.

This looks like Panavision's younger (or older) cousin with a solid build - fascinating!

by my knowledge it is a copy of Moviecam Superamerica but slightly developed towards Moviecam Compact form factor

Hey Bruce, is this still available? How much?

Bruce Taylor · August 7

Hi Thomas, yes, still available! I am working on getting things photographed today- I'll let you know when I have things out and tested. Would like to sell all the Kinor/Konvas gear in one lot.

Bruce Taylor · August 7

The lot would include the one 4 perf and one 2 perf modernized Kinor 35H cameras (modern electronics, video taps), 3 spare Kinor bodies, all accessories (matte boxes, follow focus, balance plates, many 500 and 1000 ft mags, steadicam cables, custom offset mag plate for handheld/steadicam, long and short normal and anamorphic viewfonders, spare gates including anamorphic, spare parts, etc, etc). Two 4 perf Konvas cameras with many 200 and 400 ft magazines, crystal motors (1 with full Oleg conversion), one camera has a video tap + camera, matte boxes, cases, etc. Would like to get $8000 for it all.

If you would want to trade the spare Kinors and couple of magazines for something I am making send me a DM, can trade for example Universal Motors or Aaton Counters or other stuff. I could use them for electronics projects, some people have asked me about replacement electronics for Kinors so if at least one of them has working mechanics and some of them has working electric motor drive then I would have use for them. Basically if there is enough parts to assemble one mechanically working camera with two or three restorable magazines then would be useful for me
