Beaulieu 4008 ZMII

The Beaulieu 4008 ZM II is considered by many to be one of the few truly professional Super 8 cameras ever made. The ability to swap between high-quality C-mount lenses provides greater creative choice when deciding on the look of your film. The option to shoot at frame rates ranging from 2 to 80 fps, combined with the ability to adjust automatic exposure settings for film speeds between 10 and 400 ASA, also makes for a highly versatile shooting experience. This camera has been modified to accommodate the remarkable Schneider-Kreuznach f2 lens with its impressive 18–90mm zoom range. It has also been fitted with a grip extension accessory to facilitate handheld shooting.

This camera has been refurbished and inspected by a technician with over 40 years of experience with this specific brand. The camera has been opened, repaired, cleaned, lubricated, reinforced and verified using precision test equipment.

This camera is in excellent condition. The motor runs perfectly at all shooting speeds. The lens is free from dust, scratches and haze. The camera comes with an internal lithium battery, a battery charger, a lens cap, a wrist strap and an optional screw-in 85A filter to adapt tungsten-balanced film for daylight shooting conditions. It is delivered in a sturdy carrying case for easy transport.
