[Konvas] Konvas and Kinor bits for sale

[Nicholas Kovats]

Greetings from the frozen tundra.

I continue to create films with my Bolex UltraPan8 2.8 R8 camera. Les
Bosher made a PL Mount adapter for it. Shoot some 35mm with an Arri III.
Touched the French hand of God when I shot 16mm with an Aaton XTR Prod.
Purchased two (2) Photo-Sonics Actionmaster 500 fps pin registered cams.
Converted one to PL Mount. Both run on much smaller powerful LiPO batteries
(28.8 - 30V). Purchased a French legend regarding the tiny whisper quiet
reflex Eclair ACL II. Restoring my unique UltraPan8 projector. Discovered a
Japanese cinematographer/engineer who had six (6!) custom FF VistaVision
cameras made in the nineties. Tiny things with standard Arri 400ft mags.
Logmar built 5-6x new 25 lb handheld 5-perf 65mm cameras sold to rental
houses. One was used on Christopher Nolan's recent Tenet IMAX film. Logmar
is also developing new pin registerd Super 8 and 16mm cameras with video HD
viewfinders. My friend trashed his new stereo IMAX projector. Another
Japanese filmmaker/engineer 3D printed a handheld 35mm camera absent
pulldown (direct drive motors cpu controlled) and rego prints and has been
testing 136 rolls of 35mm Ilford HP5.

Prices for 16mm cams such as Bolex, Eclair ACL(s), Aaton and Arri have gone
through the roof and are in very limited supply globally. Even the Leitz
Leicina Special Super 8 camera w/ M Mount has gone crazy price wise.

Someone has built a small scale dye transfer machine in his backyard and is
working on improving transport and process.  I suspect that
"micro-engineering" projects will scale dramatically as metal based 3D
printing drops in price. It is used even for military spec jet engines.

Take care good people of the list.

Nicholas
