Refurbished Beaulieu 4008 ZM4 Super 8 camera

The Beaulieu ZM4 is considered by some as one of the few truly professional Super 8 cameras.  The ability to change between the high quality C-mount lenses available allows for more choice when deciding on the look you want to get from your film.  The choice between 2-80fps film shooting speeds and the ability to adapt the automatic exposure settings for film stocks between 10-400ASA settings also allow for a very versatile shooting experience.  This camera is sold with the amazing Schneider-Kreuznach Beaulieu-Optivaron f: 1.4 F: 6-70 mm.

This camera was reconditioned and verified by a technician who has over 40 years of experience with this specific brand of camera.  The camera was opened, repaired, cleaned, lubricated, reinforced and verified with precision testing equipment.  These repairs are backed by a 90 day guarantee.  If you should notice anything amiss with your camera within 90 days, you can return it for repairs or replacement.

This camera is in excellent condition.  The motor runs beautifully in all shooting speeds.  The lens is free of dust, scratches and fogging.  The automatic exposure control motor is perfectly tuned with smooth operation throughout. 

The camera is sold with a new recelled NiMh battery, battery charger, lens cap, handle strap, metal sunshade/filter holder and original carrying case.
