Posted by Axle Remember you can (in most major cities) rent different lenses, take them out for a spin, just like a car. Give 'em a test drive.

That's just what I did when I was hesitant about buying my first expensive wide angle (at the time, it was a Canon EF-S 10-22mm)
I wanted to know what it was like to use
any kind of wide angle lens, but also knew it was what I needed in order to get the shots I wanted. So, I waited for some vacation time and bit the bullet when my four day epic journey arose that could not have been accomplished without the rental.
And actually, it only turned out to cost like 50 bucks for four days. They gave me a Pelican case and everything, with local pickup and drop off at Hunt's.
Is this not better than impulse-buying a 679 dollar lens without ever having tested it out first? I would say yes.
(I did go ahead and buy that lens a day later)
