I highly recommend Lensrentals.com if you need to rent a lens, camera body, or body/ lens system.
My usual rental location is in town – Schiller’s Camera – who are great in terms of service and being knowledgeable about cameras. But at $50 a day for a lens rental and the drive through the dreaded speed trap city of Rockhill- it is a bit much.
LensRentals.com is a an amazing service provider.
1- Choices:
They carry the best of Canon and Nikon. Lenses, Camera Bodies, and a whole array of strobes and other items. Other cameras are medium format and more.
2- Prices-
Very reasonable for 5 day rentals. The 300mm 2.8 came to $112 for 5 days and included 2 day shipping with return via FedEx.
3- Silly Easy-
I ordered the lens and it arrived 1 day later. The return label was included. The return required a 5 minute trip to Fedex office and they were really helpful. Tagged and gone.
I love that I don’t have to place the order weeks before the event. I can place it the week of!
4- Easy website.
A lovely website that is very easy to use. It took me 10 mins to find the lens and order it.
5- Insurance
$14 for the total peace of mind. Well worth it.
This is a fantastic site, and excellent company, and one I will be doing a lot more business with.
