The article is not really correct, because there were 2 german companies selling Super 8-cameras: the Braun AG, as mentioned in the article, and another company: "Carl Braun Camera-Werk", Headquarters in Nürnberg. For Carl Braun Nürnberg have a look to http://web2.cylex.de/firma-home/carl-braun-camera-werk-gmbh-2580069.html or http://www.braun-phototechnik.de/braunphototechnikDe/De/unternehmen.htm

Cameras like the MZ-1005, MZ-1070, OXL 540 ... were sold by Braun Nürnberg. I do not believe, that they constructed these cameras themselves, I think they were imports from Japan or somewhere else, but these gadgets were not produced by the Braun AG.

As far as I know all Braun AG-cameras were sold under the "Nizo"-label. Projectors, splicers and editors made by the Braun AG did not wear the "Nizo"-label, but were sold as "Braun"-equipment. Such gadgets as Braun FK 1-Splicer, Braun SB-1 and - 2-Viewer and the Visacustic projectors ar real products of the Braun AG.

So it's unfortunatly a little bit difficult to classify the "Braun"-products.
