Schneider-Kreuznach 8-48mm f/1.8 Variogon

Post by sciolist »

I've got a Beaulieu MCR Reflex Control 8 G 8mm camera that's equipped with a Schneider-Kreuznach 8-48mm f/1.8 Variogon lens fitted with a motorized zoom control. Does anyone know what batteries are required for the zoom motor and for the built-in Gossen lightmeter on the camera and if replacements are available? Does anyone have an English language instruction manual for this camera and/or manual zoom control lever for the lens they'd sell?

For the zoom motor : 2 x LR50 (ex. Mallory RM 1R) or 1 x CR2 (3 V).

Voici un extrait du manuel en Français de ma caméra Beaulieu (les caméras Beaulieu sont de fabrication française, tout comme les optiques Angénieux).

J’ai scanné les pages originales du manuel concernant l’exposition et leur rectificatif des pages 7, 8 et 9.

J’ai aussi le manuel en Allemand du zoom Schneider-Kreuznach. Je ne l’ai pas scanné.

Translation:
Here is an extract from French manual of my camera Beaulieu (Beaulieu cameras are French productions, as Angenieux lenses).

I scanned the pages of the original manual for the exposure and correction on pages 7, 8 and 9.

I also have the German manual zoom Schneider-Kreuznach. I have not scanned.

I can manage French a little better than I can German, so this file should be helpful. Thanks again.
