I have discovered that consistency is not guranteed for many lenses and even for Canon. So getting a good "copy" is key to make sure one does not get upset or fed up with the new lens.
I would like to know if any one has a sure fire (or at the very least some degree of success) way to get a good piece. What tests do you take? Do you ask for more than one copy to test? How many to ask for to test? Which dealer is the most helpful in this process?
Do you know of retailers that allows buyers to change lenses or which retailer refuses to do so? (I note in the US several retailers allow exchanges)
Looking forward to hear from forummers
