Subject: Re: Firefly MV cameras, NIB, on ebay

One thing to note is that there is a 6mm lens attached in front of the

sensor.  The photo on the eBay site shows the lens and the seller reposted

w/ mention of the lens after I made an inquiry.  Apparently these were an

unwanted custom order that the seller picked up.

I don't know if the lens can be easily detached or what effect the lens will

have.  Also the photo on the PGR website shows the PCB and sensor are

encased but for these the PCB is exposed.

I have ordered three, figuring these are cheap enough to play with.

I believe there are more than 400 for sale, so I'd suggest anyone interested

to hold off until someone can verify these are actually usable.  I'll repost

in a week or so when I've had a chance to check them out.
