    For SALE !
    One Beaulieu 4008 ZM II CAMERA as pictured professionally modified to use FULL HD Aspect Ratio 16x9 on regular Super 8 film stock and to shoot either at 24fps Crystal Sync (Sound recording with an external sound recorder!) or from 2 to 70 FPS!
    This Classic Pro Camera was rebuilt from scratch by a Hollywood Technician! An amazing LA company team rebuilded and repaired ALL aspects of this new camera including making it true 16x9 aspect ratio and artfully re-crafting its internal-structure and features so that you are getting the very best camera with characteristics that surpass its original specifications.
    I was the original camera owner before the rebuilding so this camera is in NEW condition! I only use the camera one time for a short film TEST and ever since it has been in storage with regular maintenance!
    The original included Schneider Zoom Lens is a 6 to 66 mm zoom lens, w/ 1.8 aperture! Making it Super fast for low light shooting. This LENS was also overhaul to shoot the exact Super 8mm format but now to fit the modified 16x9 aspect ratio GATE!
    The camera also has a new ground glass gate with anamorphic markings on it for other framings. So as to when you look at the viewfinder you see this markings on the ground glass!
    THE included LENS ALONE IS RARE/UNIQUE and Cost ABOUT ,000 usd alone!
    The camera has two modes w/ a red switch to select shooting from 2 to 70 FPS or to shoot 24fps Sync! (See the pictures of this switch).

    FILM INDUSTRY TOOL
    and most certainly not your regular Super8 camera. It is a professional collectable & modified Super8 camera package.
    VERY IMPORTANT!
    WHEN SHOOTING on regular Super 8 FILM STOCK You will NEED to tell your Lab Processing TECHnician that THE Camera has a modified gate to16x9 (Rectangular image not square as regular Super8) so a digital transfer and processing does not results in lost of image or image crop! You see what I mean? Cinema knowledge is necessary!
    *Only a few labs in America can transfer/process this 16x9 image and then transfer it to HD or 2K or 4K.
