  Konvas - Biocrawler
The Konvas is a portable 35mm motion picture camera that was manufactured in Soviet Russia.
The Konvas cameras are reflex, using a spinning mirrored shutter, allowing the operator to view the image through the actual "taking lens" during filming.
This was not a problem in the country the Konvas was designed in, as Soviet cinema usually re-recorded all sound during editing via a process called "ADR" or "dubbing/looping".

The Konvas is a portable 35mm motion picture camera that was manufactured in USSR, and for a short period at the same Moscow factory after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The relatively small size of Konvas cameras and its low price (it often sells for almost the same price as the more primitive, older Bell and Howell Eyemo) makes it popular with independent filmmakers throughout the world to this day.
Konvas cameras are reflex, using a spinning mirrored shutter, allowing the operator to view the image through the actual "photographing lens" during filming.

 Konvas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name "Konvas" comes from the first three letters of the first and last name of the camera's designer, Constantine Vasiliev.
All Konvas cameras accept a 60 meter (slightly less than 200 ft) load of film via a detachable camera magazine, some also accept a 120 meter (roughly 400 ft) detachable magazine.
The magazines are very easy to change, however; they are not easy to load and often present a challenge for camera assistants not familiar with the Konvas magazine.

A. The Konvas was never created to be a quiet camera and is rated at about 55+/- decibels.
Here's a small audio clip of a konvas and a director saying "Cut!" The camera was around 5 feet away from the director with a 400' magazine and roughly around 300' of film in the mag (the more film in a given magazine, the less room for sound to bounce around.
But then, the topica list started having lots of issues: people were having problems reading their messages, they were having problems posting, the search functions didn't work, etc. So it was decided on April 17th of 2004 to move the discussion list to a new home: the list-servs on smartgroups.com.

 Konvas 2m 35mm camera. - The Digital Video Information Network
This thread states a barney would bring a Konvas down to a "comfortable" noise level, but by no means levels with which to record sound near.
I doubt there's a crystal motor for the Konvas or even a fiber blimp, but if there is that might the shortest way for sync sound.
This Konvas really seems to be an Eclair CM3 clone, so many Eclair things should fit on it, particularly a Nikon to Eclair adaptor some American and French DOPs used with excellent results.

However, if you're doing anything of any significant length, there may be very little cost savings between shooting super-16 and blowing up, vs. shooting on 35mm in the first place.
When you consider you can get an Eyemo 35mm for usually under $1000 and a Konvas 35mm for usually under $1500, it makes it harder to justify going with super16 for blowup.
However, be aware neither the Konvas nor the Eyemo are what you would call "quiet"...

 Old 35mm vs New HDV [Archive] - The Digital Video Information Network
The Konvas cameras are a steal, and you can get the 2M with a PL-mount so you can use all modern glass.
Actually the Konvas would be much easier to do this technique with than the old Arri's, because with its crystal motor you can use VocAlign to line up the audio tracks.
Using a barney on a Konvas is going to cut the noise level by maybe four to six decibels, so maybe 30% to 50%.
