[Konvas] Cineflex?

[H. W. Stone]

Think of it as an Arri II with a much stronger body, a reinforcement ridge added to the mag seat, and a high interchangeability of parts with the Arri.

If you put a felt light block in the mag reinforcement seat you can use Arri mags, or if you take the CineFlex high speed "combat reinforced" 400ft dual compartment mags and remove the reinforcement bar they work well on the Arri. 

When I sold off the last of the Arri bodies the last two were high speed CineFlex.

And I recently found a box with some Arri mags and one high speed combat reinforced 400 modified for Arri 2c use.

The only "real" problem is the cost of any Arri parts and repairs.

That's the reason I wound up looking at the Konvas with hard front to PL--? the Arri service and repair was going sky high, and we needed to go to one lens system, not Arri Standard and PL.? If you intend to use it less than ten thousand feet per year any of the Arri/CineFlex bodies makes a good MOS wild camera.
