            VISION AND SIEMENS SIGN MARKETING AGREEMENT

EDINBURGH,  9  November  1998  - VISION Group  plc  ("VISION")  is

pleased  to announce that it has signed an agreement with  Siemens

AG  ("Siemens")  whereby VISION and Siemens  will  jointly  market

VISION's  CMOS image sensors on a world-wide basis. The  agreement

is  being formally launched at the Electronica Show in Munich from

10th to 13th November 1998.



This  agreement will cover a wide range of markets  including  the

emerging  desktop videoconferencing market, and the digital  still

camera   market  where  the  companies  are  already  engaged   in

collaborative   development.  It  is  anticipated   that   further

collaboration  on  systems development for  specific  applications

could follow.



"VISION has the newest generation of CMOS image sensors with  best

ever  image quality and highest resolution," said Hans Schwendner,

Vice   President   of   Image  and  Video  Division   at   Siemens

Semiconductors.



Peter  Denyer, Chief Executive of VISION, commented, "We see  this

as  an  excellent strategic fit for our company in sustaining  our

recognised  position at the forefront of CMOS imaging  technology.

Although  there  will  be minimal impact to  this  year's  trading

volumes, we anticipate significant contribution in future years."

London Stock Exchange in April 1995. Headquartered in Edinburgh,

Scotland, the company also has offices in California, New Jersey

and Hong Kong. VISION developed the first CMOS chips and took them

Award for Technological Achievement in 1997 in recognition of the

successful and highly innovative camera products developed by the

company.
