[Konvas] Oct 19 replacement mount.

[t byrne]

Ditto that, Rita: I bought one of these a few years ago to convert a 
2M.  It needed a good bit of tweaking to get the lenses to fit easily 
and the shim provided (of course) was not sufficient to get the flange 
focal depth exactly right.  Plan on a whole lot of fine adjustments 
before it works right.
