Please don't do this--as a long-time retail salesman there are few things more annoying than time-wasters. The people you'd be talking to, the building you'd be talking to them in, and the product they might show you all cost money--the in-person experience that you are spending time looking for, presumably because you value them, need to be paid for. Please be honest with them and give them the opportunity to earn your business, even if that means paying more than an online retailer.

Getting off my soapbox.

Yup, homework is first in order, then purchase. May go to Hunt's Camera in Manchester, just for the 1 on 1 conversation, but then buy online.

FYI, my wife will be using the lens on her Nikon !
