I don't want to swear to it, but I think anymore than about 40fps will 
not be good. The 1M/2M design just isn't ideal for high speeds, 
especially with the rotating mirror.

The TEMP SKL was made for higher speed work - and may work a lot better 
than the Konvas.

If you really need the higher frame rates, but don't have a lot of extra 
cash to plop down on a TEMP SKL, then look into cheating on your Konvas 
with 16mm and using something like a Filmo, which does up to 64fps, and 
modifying it for Super16 (or Ultra16) for better blowing up to 35mm.

I can't remember what frame rate you can get the Krasnogorsk up to, but 
you may want to look into that as well...
