What good sites are there for Lens Rentals?
I'm really wanting to get a macro lens for the typical bugs/flowers crap, and a few others, but I'd like to be able to rent and play with the lens prior to buying.
any recommendations would be great.
BorrowLenses.com is the only one I currently have bookmarked.

 NVPhoto has a biz that rents. I haven't personally used it but I was going to. He replied quickly to my questions and seemed pretty friendly. If I remember correctly, he had some specials for DPC people too, but it was awhile ago that I asked him. Here's the rental site.

| That's who I've always rented from when I rented. Very easy to work with. |

RE: Lens Rentals
Oddly enough: www.LensRentals.com - I have used them quite a few times over the past 3+ years and they are awesome to work with. They have never been out of stock on something I needed and you can reserve in advance and more often than not, they have shipped the lens to me a couple days early at no extra cost. |

I just used them for our trip to NYC and they are awesome. No deposit either. Outstanding service! Plus they sell used equipment as well. |

| There prices look pretty good too, mind you I have never rented a lens, but would part with that sort of money for rental |

| I use PhotoRentalSource.com, but it is convenient to me as they are local to Houston and I can pick the lenses up directly. Most of their business is shipping lenses, but I can't comment on that. They are very accommodating to local renters. |

| Is it just me or is borrowlenses.com spending a FORTUNE on google ads? I have seen them on dozens of websites over the past couple days - probably 90% of the websites I visited that have google ads. They have very good rates - not sure how they can keep up that ad budget. |

Well since Google let's you set the target for your ads, they might just have their demographic dialed down to: "Only show our ads to Art... we really want him to rent from us"
Be glad you're getting such personalized service! |
