Eine interessante Anmerkung von Michael Reichmann für Erstkäufer eines neuen Kameramodells (am Ende eines A2-Tests)
Postscript
I'd like to add a brief postscript on the issue of product quality, as well as product testing by buyers. My final test results with the Minolta A2 were obtained with the third camera to come into my possession. The first had a faulty Antishake system, and the second was substantially soft — possibly due to a lens element flaw. The third camera is perfect so far, and is producing excellent results.
This is probably not indicative of what one can expect from Minolta, and I've seen it before over the years with products from other companies. This can be especially problematic with new models as well as very early production cameras. I therefore urge purchasers to immediately test any new camera. You don't need to do anything too scientific — just do some photography with it, as you normally would, and have a look at results on screen and on prints. Test all the features and also check image quality.
If the camera (or lens) does not appear to be up to snuff, return it to the dealer for an exchange, or refund. Or contact the manufacturer. Most will be very pleased to work with you to ensure that the product that you end up with is one that makes you happy. Minolta could not have been more cooperative in this regard.
