From Bjorn Andersson of Beaulieu Sweden, "This Black 4008ZMII with Angenieux 1,2/6-80 was only produced in a very limited number in 1975, and we called it 'S8 10 years jubilee model'. Serial no 931500-933000."Up for sale is a camera from my personal collection... this is one of my most prized and rare cameras and I will only be offering this once.  This is the incredibly rare "Jubilee Edition" Beaulieu 4008 ZMII.  It has, hands down, one of the greatest Super 8mm lenses ever created... the Angenieux 6-80mm f/1.2 (T1.4) zoom lens, which is said to be the results of a unique collaboration between Angenieux and NASA (NASA apparently paid BIG bucks for the development of this lens).  The camera also has a custom black body and features shooting speeds of up to 80fps.The lens itself is in exceptional condition and, to my knowledge, has always had a UV filter on it.  There are no scratches or marks (that I could see), no fogging or haze, and there are very few specs of internal dust (nothing at all that affects image quality).  The body has some natural wear from regular use, but it has no major dents or dings... this camera has always been babied.The camera has been outfitted with a brand new battery plugin socket and external battery pack.  The camera runs beautifully and the images are truly incredible.  Here is a sample image shot wide open... this was from a home transfer of Vision2 500T film, so results would be better from a professional telecine facility, but you should still be able to see how incredibly sharp the lens is and how beautifully it performs. Again, this camera will only be available once.  I will not be relisting it any time soon.  I am only considering selling it because I simply don't use it... I feel a bit guilty to have such an incredible camera just sitting around, unused.  Although this camera is in good operating condition, I would still recommend to the buyer to have it serviced soon.  Bjorn Andersson in Sweden does the best work and has fair rates.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!The camera comes with an external battery pack (brand new), lens cap, UV filter, original owner's manuals, and will ship in a hardshell aluminum case.  For more information on this incredible camera, click here.Shipping is $28 via FedEx ground and includes insurance.  Other shipping services are available upon request.  Camera will be packaged with extreme care.
