Description from the seller
Beaulieu 4008 ZM Super 8 Camera – Legendary P. Angénieux 8-64mm f/1.9 Lens – French Cinema Classics
Available for auction is a true icon of analog cinematography: The Beaulieu 4008 ZM. Produced in France, this camera was the professional's choice for Super 8 filmmaking, offering features usually reserved for 16mm or 35mm cameras.
This unit comes equipped with the world-class P. Angénieux Paris 8-64mm f/1.9 zoom lens. Angénieux glass is legendary in the film industry for its organic, sharp, and cinematic rendering.
Technical Highlights:
Model: Beaulieu 4008 ZM.
Lens: P. Angénieux 8-64mm f/1.9 (C-mount, interchangeable).
Frame Rates: Variable from 2 to 70 fps (perfect for high-end slow motion).
Shutter: Mirrored reflex shutter for 100% light to the viewfinder.
Body: Solid metal construction, hand-assembled in France.
Condition:
Cosmetics: In very good vintage condition with minor signs of use (see photos). The leatherette is intact, and the metal shows a nice patina.
Optics: The lens appears clean. No visible fungus or deep scratches.
Mechanics: All knobs and dials move smoothly.
Power: No battery included. Like most vintage Beaulieu units, the original battery has expired. The camera is sold as-is mechanically, but it remains a prime candidate for professional recelling or use with an external power supply. Therefore it's not tested.
