[Konvas] zoom lens

[Speedbirdmgh at aol.com]

"I really want it to mimic those hokey zoom shots in 60's and 70's B  
(grindhouse?)films. It's probably perfect for this."  

 
Many of those fast zoom shots were made using slower camera speeds  and 
looked fast when played at correct transfer speed.
 
'Taylor Hobson' in the 1970's made some really fast zoom's for studio TV  
camera use and weighed around 20 kgs and were 4 feet long and 10 inches in  
diameter but not as fast as you suggested.
 
I suspect the lens you are looking at will be quite loose by now and the  
zoom will have "creeping" issues and probably will zoom if left on its  own.  
Unless, "hokey" means something different.
