Clive, very nice suggestion but I think I should not abuse my local camera
shops any longer ;-) I used to just go there and try out equipment when I
was starting in photography back then, and still I frequent them so much
looking for nice used lenses etc... that they know me by sight :)
I would just ask to "have a close look" at one particular item I knew I
wouldn't buy, just to try it out and fondle it (like a Pentacon Super,
Leica copies, rarer lenses,...)
