[Konvas] Konvas 1M question

[Ole Dost]

Dear experienced Konvas users,

I´ve been using my Konvas 1M during the last month several times. I am using
the 200ft Mags. There´s something funny: After about 100ft (a little less)
the camera stopps running. There´s just nothing happening when you press the
release button (I am using the 15EPSS motor with a control unit modified for
the use of 6V batteries). The sprocket holes of the film on the pressure
plate are just looking as they should –nothing torn. When I open the mag,
the film is wound as it should be. When I take away the exposed film and
thread the remaining unexposed film, everything´s ok –the camera goes on
running and exposing for the rest of the film and beyond.

Well, working is the most important thing, but it´s a little inconvenient
and takes to much time to go into the changing bag after only about 1 minute
of filming


Did anyone experience the same? Is there any fault on my side in loading the
mag/using the camera?

Thank you!

Regards,

Ole
