'''My 6008 S Review'''

No Super 8 is more pro-looking or more ergonomic. One look at the big, bad Angenieux 6-90mm Macro and you know this Super 8 means business. No Super 8 zoom lens performs better indoors in low-light or outside in high contrast situations, provided it is properly collimated and the stars align in the heavens, otherwise you will have focus issues. This is a sexy, high performance machine coveted for decades by serious Super 8 filmmakers everywhere. 6008 series Beaulieus are expensive, high-maintenance machines, but highly serviceable. The Beaulieu 6008 Pro is the Super 8 equivalent of a Dino Ferrari or Lamborghini Diablo. Avoid unless you have deep pockets.
