A while back I contacted the Pinhole Factory to ask the same
question. ZeroImage cameras? Copies? And why the significantly higher
prices? They answered my e-mail only to refuse to tell me anymore about
the cameras.
My sense was that they did not want to admit that they copied the designs
of the ZeroImage cameras. And they are copies, not ZeroImage cameras being
sold by an English company.
From www.zeroimage.com, -- "Imitations or copies of this item can found in
England. Please be advised that we do not have any authorized dealer or
manufacturer of our products in England!!!"
At the prices they are charging for the Silver *** cameras, they could buy
them at retail price from ZeroImage and still be making a substantial profit.
