So you want to buy a “lens or something” and you are motivated primarily by convenience, uncertainty about what you want, a deadline to find “it”, and no knowledge of where “it” exists. Sounds to me like an equation for disaster.
‘IM in the L.A. area for one more day. There is a particular lens I would like to buy, And I’m always potentially “in the market” for more gear. I thought I’d like to check-out an actual camera store, as a way to spend my last day here, since there is nearly nothing “Bricks&Boards” back home. Most everything I’ve acquired Photographically, I’ve gotten from B&H or Adorama. I’d like to see a Legitimate camera shop, & if they have the lens I want for my X-mount cameras, at a fair price, it would be nice to hold it in my hands, put it on the X-T2 or X-T20 ......Maybe some Pentax stuff, too. Not an “equation for disaster”, BUT thank you (VERY LITTLE) for your EVALUATION of my situation....REALLY!!!!............RJM
