Trust me, it's not just camera shops. I went into one of the leading cycle shops in London today for an inner tube. The closest they had in stock was about 2" too large in diameter, but he tried to insist that it would fit perfectly when inflated.
I went to another shop, and got exactly what I wanted. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 03 January 2006 23:24 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Camera shops!!! > [...] > Not only that their oldest expert, who is apparently > also a professional photographer, told her that he could tell > from the list that I was just converting to digital > photography and I was making basic mistakes, like he did.
