lol they are more like your underling le... the more they give the face the more they out of business so when they make that face just smile back  laugh.gif I always got that look le...

I mean test it out and then walk away? think they are going to still smile at you ar?  doh.gif just ignore the face and test  tongue.gif

Though in japan I can sit on their couch for sale for hours and still none of them show me the face or anything... more like they smile and happy  thumbup.gif

reminds me of the incident where my sister was ordering some food and then got a call for urgent meeting .... told the waitress to cancel and give back her money... in the end she got the food and the money back... reason if you might ask... is "can't speak english"  laugh.gif though japan is a good hospitality country  rclxms.gif

I LOVE my hometown back in Japan. thumbup.gif
I remember testing all the Nikon Lenses [The prime, the mid-zoom and the 70-200] for free without any moody face from me or them. biggrin.gif

Oh btw, Workshop with Louis Pang for RM80 IS CHEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! laugh.gif

KK is a nice place to buy stuff. And Tokyo... man... whole shops full of 2nd hand lens going for cheaper than a meal sometimes... Can try the lenses, cameras, fool around, and even if you don't buy the next time you go there they'll still be as nice as ever. Makes you feel bad.

KK is quite peaceful eventhough it's still has dangerous parts.
Tokyo? Their cheap-ness are like "fake" prices. Yes, we can buy a used 85mm f/1.4D for RM440 - Rm600 as I visited there last time. drool.gif

Oi cheap!!! RM80 I also wanna go! shocking.gif
That's Japan for you. smile.gif Especially in tokyo, proper ethics is very important to them. I got scolded by my Jap teacher because I used osaka slang while in class(which is a bit rude compared to proper manners Japanese in text books).

Come to KK la tongue.gif
I was born in Osaka though,
Lived both at Osaka and Shinjuku, Tokyo.
Yes, it's abit rude to speak Osakan slang to my experience, though I don't really know why.

Nobody answer? Nevermind, I will use my experiences and tell you. So if anyone would like to add further details or do some corrections, please do so  laugh.gif

Firstly, check the outlook for both Body and Lens, if you're happy with it, then proceed to the next stepsssss.  cool2.gif

For the Body:
1. check the Shutter Count, the lower the SC, the better it is, just like a car's milage. Google has a clearer explanation.
2. if the Body has motor and top LCD, make sure they both work well, it's sux if the motor doesn't work, it's sux if the top LCD can't light up.
3. test the Body with various memory cards, you don't want to have error while shooting, don't you? (sometimes it's the memory card that give trouble)
4. test Continuous shoot, will the shutter jam?  rclxub.gif
5. basically you'll have to test everything, every single functions and settings of the body, like ISO, pop-up flash, the condition of hot shoe, the buttons etc etc

As for the lens:
1. it's important that the rubber is still firm.
2. make sure it works on more than ONE Bodies.
3. play with aperture, the zoom if it has, play with it like a toy.
4. if the lens got dust and fungus inside, you can send it for cleaning.
5. if the contact points are dirty, gently use eraser to clean it.
6. if the lens is AF-S, make sure the motor inside is silent while auto focusing, no loud squeaky sound.

what else?  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

Remember, these are based on my personal experiences, correct me if I'm wrong  notworthy.gif

Very nice advices for checking 2nd hand cameras smile.gif rclxms.gif
