Hello Zernike,

Thanks for the reply.  I have great respect for you having bought 3 of your
excellent cameras.  I will do all I can to let people know that this company
has stolen your designs.  I have sent an email to the editor of Amateur
Photographer to ask why they are advertising this company.  A reader wrote
to complain a few months ago but they are still using the advert.

Are you taking legal action against this company?  I find it hard to believe
that what they are doing is legal.  They should at least credit you for
designing the cameras and pay a fee.

I am looking forward to seeing your new cameras and hope you will be able to
make them without this company copying the design.

Steve
