I recently bought a Konvas 2M with the 17.. Sync motor. The camera appears to be in good working condition. Looking condition is fair to good. It came with a 400ft magazine, 4 pin XLR cable and M42 adapter. I already have the camera, some film to practice loading the mag and I order some film to shoot soon. Why am I posting here? I've been trying to find information about the camera. But basically every link connecting to websites related to this camera are out of service. I found the user manual at rafscamera's website (thanks) But other than that there is not much recent or usable info any more. I know the camera is pretty straight forward. Easy to use but I would like to lub it, and be careful so I don't damage the camera. I wanna do it myself, because I can't pay. Not that I'm super poor, but probably the camera is not going to generate money for me at any point. But I still feel a profound respect for cameras and film and I would like to use occasionally in my personal projects. So I have the user manual, I have shot super 8 and 16mm before. I know how to expose and use lenses.. You know the basics. But I would like to receive some specific advice for this camera. Thanks

Hi I just purchased a konvas 2m, new to this camera. What tripods would fit for camera. Also any stabilizers or glides that will fit.

Is there anyone in Toronto who has a Konvas 2M who would be interested in lending a hand teaching me how to use the camera? I have an upcoming project that I am considering using the camera on. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looking to buy: 1. Elmo C-300 with the DS-8 Magazine back and eyepiece extender, etc. 2. A Konvas 2M Lens and Magazines (OCT/OST-19 Mount); Looking for a decent used lens to start me off and some used magazines, don't have to be in great condition. 3. A battery charger for the Scoopic MS 12v battery. Thanks for reading/replying to my post.
