Comments
Beaulieu's first super-8 model. The first camera of this line was presented on May 1st, 1965 at the New-York IPEX.

This camera was sold without auto exposure as Beaulieu 2008 S Reflex Control, too.

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.
