Reviews
This is pretty much the same camera as the Beaulieu 5008s Multispeed, but it usually comes with a Schneider 8-40 or 8-50 Regliomatic lens instead of the Optivaron. These lenses are pretty good, and if you already have an Optivaron or Angenieux but still want a 3008/5008 then this camera is a good buy because it typically goes for a lot less than a 5008s with Optivaron.
