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,
