> Hi, has anyone here modified their Konvas 2M for Super 35mm?

Dan,
This gets discussed every so often. If memory serves, the 1M is the 
easier (cheaper) Konvas to change over to Super35, since the lens 
mounted on the turret can be off-set without cutting into anything. Of 
course, that's on the turret itself - I can't remember for sure if 
there's an issue between the gate and lens, but it seems like there was 
a small something on the upper right side that had to be hacked out...

The 2M, on the other hand (and, again, this is purely out of memory), 
would need the more expensive version of "cut and paste" (cut and moved).
