Yeah, the shit thing about local stores is that none will let you test the equipment. What's the performance difference @ f/8 (or whatever the optimal aperture is (f/5.6 for the Nikon 50mm f/1.8))?
Print a focus shart and bring a tripod. Or just borrow one from them. Also, buying from a physical shop like Fotovideo means you can go back the next day to do a switch, so you won't have to wait for the gear to go back and forth through mail.If you can accurately spot things like back/front focus problems by shooting with a lens in a camera store then massive kudos to your awesome lens-problem-finding-skills - they are indeed legendary
That's true in some shop, but in Norway, the two biggest chains (Fotovideo and Japanphoto) will let you do pretty much anything. They'll even let you go to the door with gear for 50k NOK and stand outside shooting to test gear. I know people who've been lent lenses for 20k to test for a whole day, provided they provide ID.Yeah, the shit thing about local stores is that none will let you test the equipment.
