Beaulieu 4008 & 5008 auto exposure lens compatible?

Post by Will2 »

Are the Schneider lenses that came with the 5008 the same as the ones that came on the 4008zm2? Would they be interchangeable?

I need to replace the lens on my 4008 and have access to a broken 5008 with a working lens...

Although the lens supplied with the original camera was collimated especially for that camera, I used lenses from 4008 on a 5008 and the other way around without any problems.
The Schneider-Kreuznach 6-66 on a 4008 is exactly the same as one on a 5008.
The same for the 6-70 and the Angenieux 6-80.

Agreed.

Even the old Angenieux 8-64 works. I haven't noticed any focus problems related to collimation on the various Beaulieus I've used with swapped lenses.
