James Compton Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Check out konvas.org, join the list serv. This is 20 years of Konvas/Kinor information in that group. It's run by Adam Frey. He is very helpful, can answer many Konvas questions for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Frank Wylie Posted April 22, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted April 22, 2021 Yes, it's a great site. Go back in the archives and see the very first posting of the listserv and you'll see I founded the listserv on Thursday, 22 May 2008 and it's passed to several others since. 13 years? Man time flies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Joel W Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 So cool! I think I ended up owning most of the owner's old stuff. Birns and Sawyer tripod from way back when, a few 2m cameras, and a bunch of lomo lenses. Is it safe to store everything in normal conditions? The cameras etc. are just out in the open, the lenses are in a humidity controlled cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Compton Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Yes. To rid the lenses of any minute mold growth, take them outside on a sunny day at 12 noon. Place them on the ground with the front element facing the sky. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Reverse the lens so the rear element faces the sky for 15 minutes. This helps, but careful, dry storage is the best for keeping mold out. Contact Bernie at www.super16inc.com or cinemaengineering.com to have the camera bodies and magazines serviced.

It was so long ago, I probably can't remember the exact date but it changed hands many times, so I really can't be sure who copied the original email and re-posted it. It was probably around 2001 or 2002 and a lot of the original listserv archives was lost in transition when the maintainers changed hands. EDIT: OK, a typo on my part. Here's the original header of the first post From Wylie Fri Dec 15 21:29:00 2000 To: the konvas discussion list Subject: Howdy 21 years ago this December.
