>>299865hahaha! OP here. Jessops is the biggest camera specialist in the United Kingdom. I always wondered if any britfags on /p/ were native to the Jessops stores, as for most people to attain the knowledge on most avaliable lenses and camera bodies they would need either a heavy wallet or some serious time on the internet listening to the opinions of people who have managed to handle and review the products.
I get to play/ loan /experiment with any gear that is in the shop and spend the day talking to other photography enthusiasts about them.
Tomorrow I get my hands on a Canon 5d mark II...gonna pop a f2.8 L 70-200 on it to test and blast some shots in the service yard before I start.
