Beaulieu 4008 ZM IV
The Beaulieu 4008 ZM IV is a French-made 8mm cine camera, part of Beaulieu's 4008 series of Super 8 movie cameras. It sits within a line aimed at advanced amateur and semi-professional cine users.
Sales data for the 4008 ZM IV is thin: a single UK auction hammer result from August 2024 saw an example sell for £100. With only one wholesale saleroom data point available today, it is difficult to define a reliable price band, and current value will depend heavily on cosmetic condition and whether the camera is fully functional.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Beaulieu 4008 ZM IV worth today?

How much does a Beaulieu 4008 ZM IV sell for at auction?
The single recorded UK auction sale achieved a hammer price of £100, but with only one data point the wider market price range cannot be reliably stated.
Is the Beaulieu 4008 ZM IV a good value Super 8 camera?
At around £100 hammer it is priced well below working Beaulieu cine cameras in serviced condition, but value depends entirely on whether the motor, meter and shutter are functional.
