Yes, and you can find some at http://www.konvas.com/accessories/gates/konvas_gates.htm :)

Kinor-35C is early version. Kinor-35H is later one. Most people want newer gears. But some report that 35C was less noisy. I don't have my own experience, but I have one of Kinor-35H for sale ;-) http://rafcamera.com/mc/kinor/9ksn.htm Price is negotiable, of course.

Our video assists adjusted quite well, so you may rely upon them in high enough degree. But more precise way it to use a ruler and distance scales of collimated lenses.

For $7K you can buy quite good Kinor-35H outfit. Konvs-2M will cost you about $1500-2500, so you'll save for good tripod as well. Though it is my opinion as a seller, not a DP ;-)

I had few anamorphic sets with supposedly BNCR mount, but I can't be sure since I didn't have any BNCR camera to test them. All of them were square front ones. Thanks

For this camera $90 should be enough. Please write me to sales at rafcamera dot com. Thanks

SPAM filters delete useful messages sometimes, unfortunately. I don't remember your message, so I didn't get it most probably. Shipping of typical Konvas-2M set to USA will cost $350 (Air Freight to your nearest airport, full insurance, 3-5 days delivery time). 1M shipping will cost bit less - $280 should be enough usually. Thanks

I have limited set of 7ShKS tripod for $1999.00 (long legs, fluid head, floor stand): http://rafcamera.com/mca/support/7shks-m.htm

Konvas with 17EP motor is sync camera. This motor is crystal sync at all speeds (8/12/16/24/25/32 fps). May be it bit louder than Arri, of course. Some people make blimp boxes for it, or use tele lenses to record a sync sound at longer distance from the camera. Thanks

I don't want to trade too, but may be you have enough time to sell your equipment and raise necessary cash. Please look at this Konvas-2M outfit: http://rafcamera.com/mc/konvas/2m/2m_used.htm Also, I have great tripods (but they costs almost same as the camera): 7ShKS Shipping charge will be $350 for the camera or $650 for the camera+tripod. Feel free to contact me if you interested. Thanks

I don't know BL4 price range, unfortunately. But I have a camera loaded at maximum ;) It is Russian 10RKS-M: 10RKS-M Camera Some disatvantages: 1. It requires either many rechargeable batteries (not available here) or 3-phase AC power. 2. I don't have user's manual. 3. Shipping from Belarus will cost about $900. In all other aspects it is best camera for that money, I believe. Another low budget option is Konvas-2M camera.

It is better to reply later than never, I think :) No, they are not same.

I have to add one important (I think) note. It is necessary to keep in mind that Peleng is 180 degrees fisheye lens. So, make sure that no parts of your camera setup is in front of the lens front element, or it will appear in the field of view (it is so with Konvas sync motors, particularly). It is possible to crop the image during print later, but it is better to consider this before buying this lens. BTW, I have them in PL on Konvas/Kinor (OCT-19) mounts ;)

Hi, it's me at last :) Thanks to all who wrote good words about our business experince. I'm glad to see many familiar names among members of this forum :) I have few Konvas outfits for sale incluing good package of Konvas-2M listed in my eBay store: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3852080280 It is used but in fine working condition. Price is fair, I believe. Thanks P.S. Will read other threads bit later. May be I'll have something to write there.
