[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 465085, member: 13556"] Lawrence, I've been talked both into (high-pressure) and out of (low-pressure) gear by a retail salesperson in the past, and it is the place where I didn't get the hard sell that I shop at today. I never went back to the high-pressure store again; apparently many others felt the same way about them as they went out of business many years ago. I love to visit any B&M photography store to browse, and, if they have the time, to chat with the sales reps. I purchased my first camera, a Nikon FM, at Orlando, Florida's Colonial Photo & Hobby in 1978 or 1979, and I still look for the salesman that sold me that camera when I go back. Thankfully, it is still owned by the same family, and while they sell other things besides photo gear and accessories, it is obvious that the photo side makes the store what it is. It is the great sales staff that makes the photo side what it is. You're that part where you are! [/QUOTE]
