Chinese Photo Magazines are full of warnings

Whenever I go to a different country, I try to buy a local photo magazine. Even usually I cannot read it, they are pretty interesting to look at. On my last trip to China, I bought a magazine which seem to be named “Photographer Companion“…

…the interesting part in this magazine was the fact that over several pages they warned of counterfeit products and how to make sure you buy a real product by the maker of your choice.

For example they explained that you should make a cross check between the cameras box, the guaranty card and the body of the camera to compare that the serial number matches…

…and – if you buy a Nikon camera – that your charger should say “Nikon” and not “Nakon”.

Interesting, only in China…
