[Konvas] Konvas-1?

[Andrew Overtoom]

I owned a 7m and the camera in the photo is the early version of the same camera. Makes total sense with the North’s reliance on the soviets and China for material.

Great documentary too, perhaps his best and on a difficult subject. 

Thanks again for posting Adam!

But I caught this shot and payed the TV, as this frame showed what I believe is the Konvas-1 - the original Konvas. I believe it is the Konvas-1 due to the fat front end, under the lens turret. But I may be wrong. Thoughts?
