Hey all,
just updated two pages. First is this VERY important historical page
written by Konvas list member Anders Banke in 2002:
http://konvas.org/faq/a-brief-history-of-soviet-cine-cameras.html
It was actually put in the Konvas.org FAQ back in May, but, while
looking through the archives on my computer, I happened to find the rest
of the original post. It has LOTS of great historical information for
those interested - including dates, camera models, who they may have
taken some ideas from, and, well, just about everything - it's extremely
informative!
BTW: If you so dare to read far enough down, apparently the Kinor 35C
was developed 2 years after the Olympic Games in Moscow where Moviecams
had been imported and used...
The 2nd page to get an update was this one:
http://konvas.org/faq/the-konvas-35mm-200ft-magazine.html
Basically, I just went through and updated the measurements to include
Metric.
Cheers,
