I went to B&H on a work trip to pick up a load of gear
It is a truly horrible experience. Really, really fucking horrible.

They succeed where Jessops failed though
The last Jessops I went to just came across as a shop full of point and shoot muppet cameras with the occasional entry level DSLR, and not a lot more, other than cheap, wobbly tripods you'll hate the moment you spent thirty quid ever buying. It shocked me more Jabbobs died first

B&H are great online
I would never go back to the shop. Trust me, it's a nightmare. They have a very strange production-line ethic to the way they run the shop. It is busy beyond your wildest dreams, the staff are unhelpful (or too busy), the layout is insane and the queues are profound. Also, I needed to go back to exhange on tiny bit of a fortune's worth of equipment we had bought, and it was extremely difficult to find anyone willing to help. On the plus side, they have a LOT of stuff.

Sorry for all my dramatic adjectives.
I probably would go back if I needed something specialist. But I wouldn't go in to browse.

Fly to New York to buy a lens?
Only if the exchange rates start to favour it again.

Their twice yearly catalogues are mental enough
