I do this, it is defiantly the best way of picking your gear. At first I thought I was wasting my money, but all I did was build a really good relationship with my local dealer and never buy the wrong lens again!!! Now when I go in, the dealer is always giving me stuff to try and asking me what I thought. Great!
