Gear
Without a doubt my favorite place to shop, whether online or in a brick-and-mortar location, is B&H Photo. Their service has no equal. Their product lines are as complete as Amazon’s – even more so (IMHO). I prefer to shop them over Amazon, and that’s saying something since I buy just about everything else from the big amazing amazonian giant. Seriously, if you can’t find what you want at B&H, give up.
Rentals
Did you know you could rent camera lenses and even cameras? It’s a fantastic way to test an expensive lens before pulling the pin and buying one. I did this with the 70-400mm lens I have until my husband actually told me to go by it! Thanks honey.
