Talk:The Chicago Cluster

I did a little research on this same group some time back and never wrote it up. What I found was that the actual camera manufacturer was selling "branding opportunities" (to use modern jargon) to other companies. Your line of drug stores, for example, could make a deal with them and they'd rebadge some of their cameras with brand/model names you'd agreed on and put displays in your stores. I found some references to the operation but not a definitive list of all the brands they'd produced. I'll see if I can dig up my notes and send them your way.

Excellent work!!! That kind of article/entry makes camera-wiki shine!--Heritagefutures 05:25, 27 August 2011 (PDT)

Gotta give credit to John Kratz for nudging me into starting this—he sent along a spreadsheet with much of the brand name listing shown here.--Vox 15:53, 27 August 2011 (PDT)

Spartus Rocket?

I see that "Spartus Rocket" was added into the Camera Models section of this page. I do not think it belongs here, since the Rocket has a unique body style, and the point of this page is to list cameras whose bodies were badged with different names and manufacturers.--John Kratz (talk) 09:13, 8 September 2014 (PDT)

Sorry about that - I didn't know that there weren't other similar cameras. I have removed it from the list. Thanks for letting me know! Kenny HaarFager (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2014 (PDT)
