By the end of the 1990s, the [[Argus]] trademark had passed through several hands, and had simply become a way to slap a familiar name on inexpensive products, sourced from the far east. The labeling of these cameras as "[[Fixed focus |focus free]]" is a clue to their very basic nature—in most cases little more than [[trashcam]]s. The range of styling eccentricities strongly hints at multiple [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_design_manufacturer ODMs] working without coordination. A few of the observed model designations are noted below:

*Argus 35 HFM
