[Konvas] Anyone interested in a new rubber eyecup, Follow Focus, etc?

[Adam Frey]

Konvateers,
Are you tired of breaking out your Konvas only to wish it had that extra 
special something that the Cinematographer next door had on his/her 
camera rig? Is your viewfinder's rubber eyecup falling apart? Is your 
Konvas so loud that you can't run it in your town due to sound 
restrictions? Then please read on...

Seriously, I have a few projects I've been working on here, but before I 
can go any further with some of them, I need to see how many people are 
genuinely interested. I'd also like to know what prices you'd like to 
see these items go for.

Be sure to let me know before December 7th. If there is not enough 
interest, I will NOT proceed with producing them; so if you are truly 
interested, let me know!

And here are the items:
1) A rubber eyecup for the rotating viewfinder
I'm currently making a batch of rubber eyecups. I'm not exactly sure of 
the cost per eyecup just yet, but will know more later this week (they 
are quite time-consuming). And yes, there will be a discount for those 
that have donated to keep Konvas.org up and running!

2) A usable Konvas blimp system
Quiet, portable, lightweight - in other words, it's easy to carry and 
transport! This sound blimp will fit both 1M/7M and 2M/8M models (not 
100% sure about the older konvas designs, but it ought to). It should 
handle most lenses, both the 200ft and 400ft mags, AND you should still 
be able to use the rotating viewfinder. Perfect for interior (and 
exterior) shooting with the Konvas.

3) A rail system for the Konvas
Dovetail systems built for the Konvas are nice, but can't always serve 
every need. This rail system is designed to fulfill those needs and 
allow you to use different lenses with your Konvas. Let me know if you 
are more interested in 15mm or 19mm. NOTE: This is just a rail kit only 
(ie, no follow focus or lens supports).

4) A Follow Focus unit for the Konvas 1M
Due to a unique design, this is ONLY for the turret mount OCT-18 Konvas 
1/1M/7M and not the single mount OCT-19 Konvas 2M/8M.

All interested parties can contact me either on or off-list. Have 
questions? Then it is probably better to ask me off-list.

BTW: If you are only "kicking tires", please do not respond. This is 
ONLY for people with a genuine interest in upgrading/modifying their Konvas.
