Beaulieu 6008PRO
I'm an Italian filmmaker based in Bologna. This camera has been part of my work for years, last used with film approximately one year ago. I'm parting with it to finance new projects — it deserves to go to someone who will actually shoot with it.

About the Beaulieu 6008 PRO
The 6008 PRO is among the last and most refined professional Super 8 cameras ever produced. Crystal sync at 24/25 fps makes it ideal for sound work and digital transfer. Speed range from 4 to 80 fps. Variable shutter angle. Motorized zoom with variable speed control. Built and engineered in France at the height of Super 8 filmmaking.
About the Schneider Optivaron 6-70mm f/1.4
Widely regarded as one of the finest zoom lenses ever made for the Super 8 format. Fast, sharp, with built-in macro. Clean glass — no fungus, haze or scratches (tested against light source).
Condition
Excellent cosmetic condition throughout, carefully preserved. Motor tested at all speeds (SQ, 36, 80, 18, 9, 4 fps) — smooth and regular at every setting. Light meter responsive and functioning. Last used with film approximately one year ago and performed perfectly.
Honest disclosure: the interval-timer activation button is missing. This is a rarely-used feature and all other controls are fully intact and working.
