I purchased a lens recently from Bestbuy and they matched the B&H’s price. It was a Nikon 80 to 300 FX lens which surprised me that they had it in stock. They also offer camera classes during the week by people who seem to know specific camera manufacturers. We only have one camera store in my area and it’s a good 45 minute drive where the Bestbuy is a 10 minute drive. And, the camera store does not match prices.
