Hi Milton,

So that's where Alan is!

Apparently yes.

Hmm, you know these were Flea2 that do not bear the PGR logo so I

wonder if they were made for some specialized function with a

different glass covering, or would they be substandard?

One thing I found out at that lunch was they do all their assembly work in house, as well as programming and QC work too. They

I don't think

PGR would dispose of cameras that didn't pass QC by selling them as

disavowed merchandise.

As far as I know, they don't do that and they don't make models for other companies either.  If it doesn't have a PGR logo, maybe isn't a PGR Camera? Maybe you could ask them about it and see what they say.

I find I have to use quite a bit more gain at

33mS, on the Flea1 I had to turn the gain down to about 50% because

pixel oversaturation would set in, especially in the Green channel.

HTH..
