Well, that's not really what I meant. I meant more like second-tier, not totally trustworthy, the kind of place that will make you call them so they can try to sell you another lens, or some BS filters, or memory cards, cleaning kits, etc. They'll tell you that you
HAVE to have a UV filter, that your lens won't focus properly without one, etc. You can decline, and they'll still ship your camera, it's just a bit of a hassle.
Others that fall into this category would be Abe's, Tri-State, Butterfly, BuyDig, 42nd Street, etc. I've dealt with several of them, and it's no big deal to me, but some people really don't like that practice.
