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!

The Konvas 35mm Motion Picture cameras are reflex, meaning that when a person looks through the viewfinder, they see exactly the same image as the film in the gate.
35mm Konvas come in several flavors and have different model numbers. The original Konvas cameras were made in the 1950's and production lasted through the early 1990's. They were used in the Soviet's race for space, as news cameras, in feature films, in documentaries, and were even used to capture aerial footage of Chernobyl. Named after its designer, Vasily Konstantinov, the 35mm MOS Konvas can be a great addition to anyone's arsenal of rugged camera equipment.
