I'm sorry, but precision equipment should perform the task its meant to perform precisely.
Yes, but the times of such equipment are long gone. In this electronics time things are build not to last to long, and are prone to failures (even electronics in, lets say, best Mercedes cars), as technology is, especially imagining sensor technology, changing and developing every year. Do you think that first auto-focus cameras back in '80 like Canon and Minolta were trouble free?
I still have 40 years old Minolta camera that survived every possible torture and is still working perfectly. But, sadly, things are not build that way anymore.
