Which films were shot with Konvas cameras?

"Hunting Dragonflies" - http://huntingdragonflies.com

We shot it with two Konvas 1M's and their respective arsenal of Lomo lenses (18mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 135mm), with the occasional part or two off of David Crosson's Konvas 2M on occasion (thanks again, David).

Everyone does what he/she can to get around the "sound issue". We did a lot, but, more often than not, we didn't pay as much attention to our audio as we should have. There is ADR, there's sound taken on set with the Konvas rolling that you can't hear (camera behind audio), and sound taken with it that you could hear - IF you really knew what you were listening for - but, to be honest, no one has heard any camera noises to date, since the music and foley muffle it so well.

"Something Missie in the life of Jordan Bank" - http://www.somethingmissie.com

We owned one of the Ostcam's, which we ended up selling to process film after we were done shooting. We shot about 3/4 of the movie with either the ostcam or an 8M. The rest (not enough) was shot with the Kinor which was always a lifesaver. We didn't own the Kinor, we were lucky enough to become good friends with another member of the list that lives nearby and we pooled resources. He had the 8M and a Kinor that we used.
