High possiblity that Alex Photo will close shop then change to a new name.

One of the possible new names: Kathay Foto
since the real one is next door.

Recently, I bought 2 pcs of 2nd hand (looks very new though) LP E-6 from BnS here. The seller was selling for 80$ (fixed) for 2 pcs as he said he got no more cam using this type of battery. for 2nd hand, i find the price to be decent and battery info was readable on my 5D2. So bought them.

Then I got my 6D yesterday. Those batteries have communication problem. "THEY ARE FAKE". The batteries looks exactly the same as the You Tube video above. There goes my 80 bucks. ;(

Well, at least you discovered it before it's too late

[Davidnikon]

Wah, last time I bought triangular strap rings from Alex Photo because other places dont have. Sell me very expensive.

Should suggest to Alex to print out the newspaper cutting and paste on his shop window, like hawkers do when they go up newspaper.

Newspaper say he faces jail term, will he go to jail? I heard intellectual sues the fines and damages very very high one, enough to bankrupt someone.

Just pass by Cathy Photo, saw that Alex Photo had closed down. Alex have moved to PRIMA camera.

According to what i heard he was given 7 days to move out.

PRIMA is a sound alike name to the original camera store PRIME CAMERA which have move to a bigger store at the basement of Aldephi.

Yes. It's like the fines for smuggling tobacco. It will be in crazy multiples of the potential losses the intellectual rights owner would have suffered. :bsmilie:

It's a pity, but if the owner knows that he is selling fake stuff, he has to be prepared flute this day to come.
