First Beaulieu Super 8 camera,
designed by Marcel Beaulieu. It is the same as Beaulieu 2008 S
Automatic but only with manual and semi-automatic exposure. "It is a semi-automatic
variant of the 2008S It is equipped, like the automatic version, with an
Anqenieux zoom lens or with a Schneider Variogon lens. Film exposure is
manually controlled by means of the diaphragm, according to the indication
given by the photocell pointer, inside the viewfinder. Except for the absence
of the Reglomatic facility, the camera is identical, in design and appearance
to the automatic model" (extract, Beaulieu 2008 S brochure).
