[Konvas] Konvas lens mount

[t byrne]

Ole,

They do look similar, but the Arri standard mount is 41mm diameter and 
the OCT-18 is 47mm. And the flange focal distance is different. I 
suspect that this is one area in which the Western design came first and 
was copied in principle (but not in detail) by the Russians.

Interesting, though, that our Israeli friend who was selling the Kinor 
35 recently on ebay was right in claiming that the Kinor came before the 
Superamerica.
