I have never seen the Chinon camera. I wonder if the IQ would be the same as the Kodak or maybe it was tweaked differently.

I doubt very much that at the time they bothered with different firmware.

I think that Chinon only sold those cameras in certain countries o probably not directly competing with kodak anyway.

With the better known brands I believe that in their mid to top models both the firmware as well as the coating in the lens was propirietary.

For example, Canon,Sony,Panasonic and a couple of other brands, in the early days , all sold the same (probably Canon made) lens called Canon,Zeiss and Leica according to the camera it was used with.

The lens was the same but the coating as different for each version.
