Comments
The same as Beaulieu 2008 S Automatic, but without auto exposure.
It looks like Ritter (German importer of Beaulieu) showed a Beaulieu 2008 S with a 25% larger viewfinder on the photokina 1968. Unfortunately it's unclear when and if those models have been sold.
The battery compartments on these are unique to this model and will require a different kind of dummy adapter than the other 2008 and 4008 models. I think Wittner sells them if you can't find one off Ebay.
Reviews
These typically come with Angenieux 8-64 or Schneider 8-40 lenses that have 1 "Regliomatic" control. Both are very nice lenses. It's nearly identical to the 4008 models and if you don't require speeds faster than 50 fps, these are a nice alternative to the 4008 if you want to save ~$100 on a camera off Ebay. Note that like the 4008 models it will still cost you hundreds of dollars extra for maintenance and a new battery.
