I did a search and nothing really came up.

Can anyone recommended a transfer house that does file to tape services? I need several films put to DVCam tapes from various quicktime formats for festivals and I am deckless. Like anyone I'm not looking to spend a great deal but I do want quality.

I've e-mailed several houses but with no result and was just wondering if anyone knew. Thank you.

Yet another question about the 'ol Konvas 1m.

Is it possible to mount a newer jointed ocular on a Konvas that originally came with the straight ocular.

With the straight ocular and the 400' mag on I can't seat my eye on the ocular correctly. Maybe its just my fat head.

Can you swap out the oculars?

C-mount lenses not possible to use with Konvas-1M and any other 35 mm reflex cine camera ( the reflex 16 mm cine cameras with mirror disk not compatible too ) because, C-mount lenses have short flange focal distance and cover 16 mm film gate on

That's kinda what I thought too but I wasn't sure. I just saw the post and my heart soared because I have plenty of C-mount lenses lying around, which would have prevented me from buying any other lenses. I thought it might work somehow. But I guess you can't wish something true.

I was searching through the posts trying, almost in vain, to find a distributor that carries primes for the 1M, when I came across a post where a guest mentioned having a c-mount adapter for his 1M.

"I have the 1M with new lenses mounted on it. I got an adapter to allow me to put any C-mount lenses on the camera, then I bought some new Arsat 35mm lenses and stuck them on the 1M."

So my questions are:

Has anyone else used a c-mount adapter for their Konvas?

Does anybody know where can I get one?

How well do c-mount lenses cover the 35mm format?

I've been searching HIGH AND LOW for an FD adapter, where do you find them?

here's another place that sells them.

This forum mentions a lens adapter that doesn't require the Manual Diaphragm Adapter.

The only one I can find is made by Adorama and you see them every now and again on ebay

To use the FD lenses, besides the mount adapter you need the Manual Diaphragm Adapter which is a little plastic piece worth about 3 cents selling for $4.95 that enables you to actually change the aperture setting while the lens is not really on an FD camera body. Otherwise it remains at full aperture.

Thanks for the heads up on the Manual Diaphragm Adapter. Not knowing to use that would have caused some major obvious problems.

I did a search and it was pretty sparse but I wanted to know if anyone was shooting through a canon fd mount lens adapted to the c mount bolex. I am wondering if I shouldn't buy an adaptor for my bolex since I have a wide array of fd mount lenses from my canon. I want to know what results the canon has yeilded for anyone using them on a bolex or any other 16mm for that matter. And kind of a side question, is there any light loss with the lens and do the f-stops read true from the 35mm lens to the 16mm format? I would be happy to hear from anyone on this. Thanks
