[Konvas] Konvas and Kinor bits for sale

[Ian Tilson]

Still here!

My Kinor 35H still proudly on display here in my office! Still haven’t shot anything with it and have a freezer full of 35mm film too!
hoping someday to actually use the beast!

I’ve been shooting a lot with my Alexa (commercials, music videos, and short films) ran some Super8 film through my Beaulieu 4008 ZM2 a couple of times (just shooting some family stuff) and am trying to source a new viewfinder for my Bolex Rex H16 camera so I can actually see through the lens!

Biggest news for me is that I was just hired to shoot my first feature in February…in Egypt!
So pretty stoked about that!

Hoping 2022 is still full of celluloid dreams for all on the list!

Best,
Ian

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.

At least the optics were and are quite desirable- sold the good stuff a few years ago. I have a few oddball lenses left, mostly OCT18- I should put them on a mirrorless body and see how they look.
