Thanks for the reply.
Yes I'm talking about the screw in battery type. I'm not sure if its been recelled. I believe it has. Is there anyway to tell by looking at it?
How much do you charge for your services? where are you located?
Have you ever heard of the light going on only when the power switch ...

Hi,
My beaulieu 4008zm2 battery wont charge all of a sudden. When I plug in the charger (to the wall and into the camera) the orange light on the charger doesnt come on like it used to. The only way I can get the orange light to come on is to engage the power supply button on the handle. It's been ...

Looks great. How much of it was shot on super8??

To resize. Once a selection is made. Apple T..... hold down the shift button and drag corners in or out...viola!

I posted this over in cinematography, but I wanted to hear the opinions of the experts here as well

Soon I'll be shooting a short film using a Beaulieu 4008II and a canon 310xl. I'll be using the canon for the dimly lit indoor and outdoor night scenes using Kodak 500t. I'll be using the Beaulieu ...

because you don't use the built in light meter anymore. You set your external light meter to 500 asa and the shutter speed you're shooting at. That's all the meter needs to know to tell you the correct aperture..

LOL yeah, I get that, but the camera needs to know what speed the film is. On a 4008 ...

hmm.... How do you do that, when the camera doesn't have a setting for 500 asa?

Thanks so much for the speedy reply.
Just curious, how do you compensate for the lack of a 500 film speed setting on the 4008 ZMII, when shooting vision 500T using tungsten?
Do you set the dial @ 250 asa and compensate accordingly when metering?

Being a new 4008ZMII owner I've found this thread very helpful.

Could someone please chime in and give us the asa and filter info for Kodaks Plus-x and Vision 500T?
THX.

Im from NYC and I believe you've captured it quite well.
Good job!

I listen exclusively to 8 tracks on my Akai 81d in my photo studio 40 hours a week! I'm actually selling a bunch of carts i dont listen to, to buy a Beaulieu 4008 II ZM.

Hmmmm......... I'm learning there ARE people like me out there!

Thanks for the trick Blue!....Def good to know.

So, is this something that happens every so often, or is it a defective batch?

I was filming last weekend and I put in a new roll of super 8 Kodak tri-x. When I started filming it ran for a few seconds than stopped, ran again then stopped. This happened three times. Then I took the catridge out of the camera and put it back in. The camera stayed running but I later found out ...
