Chris Petersen-Clausen:

So when I walked up to the counter to explain my problem, the worst I could imagine happening was being told I wasn’t very smart followed by a brief demonstration. It wouldn’t be the first time when electronics are involved.

That didn’t happen. Instead, batteries were exchanged, coworkers called from lunch breaks and superiors consulted. Nobody could understand the strange behavior of my flash until finally, an engineer spotted the issue: we were looking at a fake.

I had bought a counterfeit flash.

Dotyczy to wszystkiego, szczególnie kupowanego na dalekim wschodzie — jeśli cena jest zbyt piękna, aby była prawdziwa, to zazwyczaj tak jest.
