Thanks, that was my reasoning as well... But since I am not American, I thought I'd better ask to verify.

Thanks!

Hi!

Someone on the Russian Pentax forum asked an interesting question to
which I had no answer. Is there a shop in US of A (or may be elsewhere
as well) that will test the brand new lens prior to shipping it
(overseas)? I tend to think that it would be almost equivalent to
cherry picking on behalf of the buyer, but nonetheless, the question
stands.

I very much doubt it.  The trend is more and more towards educated
monkeys behind the counter; would you trust one of those to test a lens?

And, more importantly, what's in it for the shop?  All it does is to
possibly deter a sale if the lens doesn't test up to par. That's extra
cost for the store, with no increase in sales.  And, finally, what is
the store going to do if their tests OK the lens, but the end user
still discovers some problem?  That's going to be worse for customer
relations than blaming the manufacturer.
