Welcome Film Makers, Konvas, and Kinor Users!

This website (as well as the discussion list) are dedicated to sharing information and resources on motion picture equipment designed and built in Russia and the former Soviet Union (USSR), mainly (but not exclusively) the Kinor 16mm, Kinor 35mm and Konvas series 35mm motion picture cameras.

Things you will often see talked about here are the beautiful Russian Lomo lenses (and how some are even using them on their HD cameras); the MOS Konvas 1M, 2M, 7M, and 8M 35mm cinema cameras; the quieter, more studio oriented, 35mm Kinor 35C and 35H; the Rodina 35mm; the Temp SKL; the PSK, KSU, KSK, & KSM 35mm cameras; the Druzhba 35mm; the Kinor 16, and sometimes the Krasnogorsk-3 (K3) & Kiev 16mm cameras, among other Russian Cinema Gear. We do talk a lot about cinema though, and don't always necessarily stay in the realm of Russian made film equipment.

Help Konvas.org (Donate)

The past few years since we switched to Konvas.org have been great. Although it's not completely without issue, the system we've moved to is much more stable and reliable than any of the previous email discussion list systems. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time and money to run a website and discussion list of this magnitude. We had been trying to offset the costs by running ads and such on the site, and not trying to ask for donations. But the ads didn't pay for all of the work and maintenance, but even a little something was better than nothing. But with the current global economic crisis, that little bit of funding has almost entirely dried up. At this point, internet ads aren't even able to pay for our hosting costs, let alone the work and maintenance.

As we said above, we're dedicated to sharing information and resources on former USSR motion picture equipment. Join our group discussion list and join in on the conversations. Have a question, and it's not in the FAQ? We can probably answer it. Need someone to work on your Konvas or Kinor gear? Thinking about buying from someone on ebay, but don't know who to trust? We can probably help. But before you post, please take a look at our archives and get to know us a little!

About Russian Cinema Camera Gear

Russian Camera gear will do the work you demand - 'nuff said. A Russian Cinema Camera, in good to excellent condition, is not going to be everything a brand new $50,000 film camera is going to be (that new camera smell, that digital thingamabob, the 1 year warranty), but it will work - the way Mother Russia intended it to. And it will do most everything a $50k camera will do, most likely just as well, if not better - and sometimes it will do more!
