Any marketing expert out there wanting to take on "Realpoo Optics"?

I have seen some funny names and slogans from Chinese firms when looking on the internet. I even bought some remote flash triggers with the slogan on the box being "Unlimited wonderful, Easily grasp, All in yongnuo". However, I really can't bring myself to buy a fisheye lens manufactured by "Realpoo Optics".

reminds me of an old story from 30 odd years ago. KFC, as it was know then as Kentucky Fried Chicken made its first foray into China. And they wanted to use the American slogan 'finger licking good'. So they got it translated..literally. The sign got made and they were about to have their first Chinese store opening, when someone pointed out that the slogan had been translated incorrectly and read : Kentucky Fried Chicken - eat your fingers off.

I have seen camera gear from China, with the brand name Xit.

'X' is pronounced 'sh' in pinyin. :eek:

Good old Alibaba. I didn't realise they sold camera gear. This one's a hoot as well http://au.alibaba.com/product/1449184449-New-arrival-green-color-chewing-gum.html?s=p

And if you have a look at DSLRs, the notion of 'Grey Import' takes on a whole new meaning :eek:

The reason you want Realpoo is:

- with high index and low dispersion
- every element is multicoated
- great for extreme close up shots
- comes in a bag


Treat yourself with Realpoo .... great dispersion, completely multicoated and perfect for close up shots .. and all in a compact, easy to carry bag. :th3:
