There's a Cash Converters in my local shopping centre with lots of rarely
interesting cameras jammed tightly together on shelves behind glass doors.
The top two are compacts, a lower one or two of SLRs and the bottom one,
where you have to get on hands and knees to peer in, have a jumble of
unlabelled and mostly unidentifiable lenses. In eighteen months of looking
in there every week, the best OMs I ever saw were OM10s - until a fortnight
after I bought my OM-40(PC), when two OM-40s appeared!
Most of the cameras bear an uninformative price ticket, marked, for example
"Minolta camera £35", and are generally well over-priced. I don't what, if
any, guarantee they offer, but I've never felt confident in them enough to
buy anything from them. They appear to have no idea about retailing cameras.
