[Konvas] WAS Kragnagorsk NOW Eumig

[RIta Avery]

I have never heard of an Erector set but assume it is similar to the British Meccano sets which are now worth a fortune.

Someone is going to build a Dolly track from an Erector set!!  I would like to see that.

RIta. Extremely cold here but not as cold as NYC.

Then this might not be a good time to mention making a dolly track out of erector sets across a brick courtyard and running a Bolex 16mm with a one hundred foot load each pass across the courtyard?

Whelp! Gotta go with the crowd on this one. If these babies jam so easy, and all for 100' of sub-par lens magic... but that catchy beauty plate! I was the kind of kid who, after unsuccessfully getting two pieces of an erector set to stay together for more than 5 minutes would throw it all in the trash (where it squarely belonged), so the Kraggy will probably render me a tit cranky. Ah, erector sets. Don't get me started. Legos? Yeah I can do those all day. Hey Scott! Happy new year to everyone :-) Mmm, indeed yes, I did my homework on the Minima. Mine came with 3 mags and 8 spools otherwise I'd have passed it up. The super nice thing about it is it's tiny with a PL mount. Mōvi or drone country methinks. I've tried threading it. TRIED. Where's that blasted erector set. Oh and supposebly daylight spools???? That French cat guy musta been outta his mind MAD. No waaaay. There is just no way. Okay maybe I'll try it out for a larff one day, but no way. Took a look at XTR prods last email in this thread, darned pretty lookin' rig right there. Not for $6-grand pretty. But an SRII is the way to go. So! Anyone here ever use one o'them fancy Eumig 16's? Brandon 'he pullin that stump out with his car' Esten
