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.

Beaulieu have made set for a Iscorama with a Schneider 10mm lens and a LCU for 6/7008.

Glenn, If you will have a modification on a Schneider 1,4/6-70 lens without C-tread its possibly for me to change the rear end for LCU to a C-mount tread. Björn Andersson

Most probably there is some powering problem. If the needle drop when camera start running the power consumption from battery for driving motor is far to high. Battery can be bad or/and the camera need a overhaul with cleaning and re-oil. Test to see if you have same needle drop in TEST position.

Not to forget, the wet dream for many Beaulieu user: Angenieux 1,2(T1,4)6-80(90)

In the U shaped opening you shall see a moving part going up and down when the film take up spool is turning and indicating film running. If you don´t, your 4008 can be an early version where this parts have dropped into camera. It seems that you might have more than the ASA knob trouble, in this camera.

Something is fault. You shall be abel to set from 10 to 400 against the green dot. Scale can be missplaced or other mechanical thing can stop the knob.

The 8,4V power pack from Beaulieu was invented in first hand to secure the drive/running when 60m sound cartidges was used. This cartridges sometimes was a bit uneven to drive and sometimes rised the power consumtion a lot in pikes. It´s not the voltage that is important its the amps in battery that secured the camera running. These cartridges are no longer aviable and such problem will not show up. If your camera is in good working condition you will not have any problem.

You shall without any probem be able to use 6 pcs NiMH cells. Camera is constructed for use with 1,2V Nicad cells and 1,5V Alkaline.

This looks more like a camera body "problem". As a "optical" part in camera body(internal filters)is missing, the back focus is most probably out for the lens, if´t hasn´t been readjusted after that this internal filter has been removed. The lens focus at about 0.05mm before filmplane.

As it looks like you have the handbook for ZMII. Don´t stop reading at page 12. Go to page 23, "Framing and focussing"
