http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=330130500359 here's the link again.. messed up the first time.

Just wanted to let you guys know that I'm selling my Konvas 2M. I put it up on Ebay here:

Anyone have accurate ideas of what a production company typically charges a company for a 30 second spot? This is assuming the production company comes up with the concept, story, idea, films it, edits it, does all the post.. everything: the company gets a finished 30 second spot (35MM). What does an average "no frills" company charge? What does a "better" company with more "interesting ideas" and better "composition" charge? Thanks! Sy edit: lol just realized i put 39 second spot in the title. rest assured, I meant 30 seconds :P

there a resource anywhere that shows, with pics maybe, how to hook up exactly (the wiring etc) the powersource to a battery?

will this work? http://www.adorama.com/BOX672.html If you have any suggestions, let me know.. Sy

Thanksfor the informative post. One question: How do I rate the film myself? If I have 200T... I shouldn't use that rating, but one I come up wit myself? If so, how?

.. but I'm a true beginner when it comes to f/stops. is there a basic guide somewhere that ties it all together? example: so.. i'd take a reading with the light meter.. i assume it'll spit out some numbers... now then, i have 250 daylight film.., how do i then figure out what f/stop to use? is there a guide somewhere that walks a newbie through this complete process? thanks!

interesting.. i may look into this for my konvas.

thank you olex, i think i'm beginning to understand now. so i will need one of these: http://www.batterywholesale.com/battery-st....html?prodID=62 and one of these to charge it? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Module...C=SEO&U=mlp I think it will make the most sense when I actually have the camera in my hands.

Kevin, I'll look into that. Although Olex's post seems informative, it almost confuses me more! (no offense Olex). What do you know about this battery system I'm getting? I'm mostly concerned about the plug.. will I need to get an adaptor for American 3-pin plugs? If so, which one?

So... the battery that comes with this kit is insufficient? And concerning the power connectors, do I need some sort of conversion cord or something to plug into standard Western Three-Prong plugs (plug into wall)?

I'm the new proud owner of a Konvas 2M. This is the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=280033953276 It's currently in the mail... so I haven't actually had my hands on it. That said, I'm unsure what cord goes into what, and generally how things are setup so I wanted to make sure I'm good to go when it arrives. Now, for anyone experienced here.. taking into account what is in the pictures of what I'll be receiving, what necessary cords or converters or plugs or anything will I need in addition to what I'll receive in the auction will I need to power and/charge the battery and unit in the US? Thanks in advance. Sy

Interesting thread. I hope someone replies.

Hello everyone. Recently purchased a K-3... I also plan to pick up a Konvas in the near future. I need a light meter now. Can anyone recommend a few? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies!
