The size of filter for this lens hood is Serie 8,5.

The W85/clear filter is a very important part of the whole optical system on your Beaulieu 2008S camera. By removing the internal filters, the optical distance is changed about 0,05-0,08mm and will change the back focus. The tolerances for this distance is only +/- 0,01mm on this 1,9 Angenieux lens. It need to be readjusted to get proper focus.

You can't use the Li batteries with 7,4V in your 2008. Arrange with your original batteries and you will have a working camera, not a fried one.

Beaulieu 2008S cameras shall ONLY have 4,8 V. To fit 7,2V or more in camera will only make problems. Be aware about this. To many have tried to use too high Voltage and get different problems.

This "noise" is depending on that booth motor and lens has dried out. It will not help with some spray or similar. To cure it, lens and the reglomatic unit has to be dismantled old dried oil/grease has to be removed and re-oiled. As lens has to be stripped it will need a collimation to work properly again.

Where did you see it?

Will, your two new batteries are on their way to you now.

We re-cell these batteries as well as we now also have brand new NiMH batteris in stock for 4008

As the camera work, auto iris is also working the problem is in the zoom unit on lens. The centre tap is for the iris contol motors only. What causing the problem is difficult to know but its on the lens unit. /Björn

That´s right Jean-Louis, I have modified several Pathé lenses and changed this gear and fitted Beaulieu ones.

This lens has not been fitted to a Beaulieu LCU, as the gear pitch on aperture ring is not for Beaulieu.

I have a few new (grey) arms in stock. Björn

I should not be surprised if there is some fault on the reflexing areas in the viewfinder prism or that the holder for the expo meter cell has come off the same.

The C mount tread has to be adjusted to have the lens to stop in right position for the zoom and iris motor tubes contra the body. Most probably is there some problems with the function between needle and camera, it´s not common that the expo cell is cut out. If the cell was dead, you should have movement on needle in Test.
