Good grief!  Are these guys still hanging around?

I remember their first foray into the field.  Around 1MP, I believe.
As far as I know they never managed to get it int production. All
they sold was the company, to some other misguided outfit.  After a
while, along came the EF-1.  Specifications about the same as the
original product, though with an even smaller sensor, and with a
greatly reduced list of "supported" cameras.  That never shipped,
either.  Now I see we're up to EF-4, still with only 4MP, though
from a nice large sensor (under 1.2x crop factor).

I don't think it's much of a risk to suggest this will never make
its way into the hands of paying customers, either.
