bring a torchlight, shine through the lens and look for bubble, dusts, haze, and all kinds of craps.

if the shop allow you to hand pick them, then have have teting for front/back focusing at the shop laugh.gif

Bring something to shoot that you feel it will please you in terms of detail , color and sharpness. Can be a soft toy, gundams or some sort of object. if better, something that relates to what you intend to shoot.
