Looking to Rent Lens.. IDK WHERE?!

[breane24]

I want to rent a fisheye lens. You know one of those $600 fisheye lens for a week or two. While I'm on leave- and going up north for a wedding.

If anyone knows of online websites which are 'trust-worthy'. Please let me know!!
I was googling - and wasn't finding anything to promising.

thank you - thank you thank you!
BTW. How's the Navy treating you?

[Navydub]

Pretty decent. I can't complain. Thanks for asking .

[breane24]

I won't be able to order the lens until the 15th - because I want it for the 23rd....

But what if they go out of stock before then... I could rent it for the three weeks then just continue - the order right?

[Navydub]

I believe so yea.

awesome site thanks i will need this in September

[synthsis]

did the same exact thing. Borrowlenses.com for a week with insurance on the lens and shipped both ways was just about $60.

[breane24]

Thank-you very much! I just ordered the lens. And I spoke with someone from rentglass. I'm happy to know they're in Florida and shipping will not take very long.
I asked them that on the 15th, if I could add another week - that the payment would be coming from the same card. They were easy to work with - and I was happy I found a phone number. Unlike a few other sites I was looking at. I can't wait to get this lens in the mail!!

(plus, I just got a steal on a 18-55mm) Since I rock out with the Sigma 70-300mm. Which yes HAS THE MACRO option. But hates getting close to things.

fwiw, I've used ziplens.com a number of times with success as well.

So far the original response of : RentGlass has been the CHEAPEST as well.

BRE how did you get 2700 post in a little over a year?

[breane24]

Ugh.. Well, back when I had the mk3 .. I had a lot of questions. That I would search out and respond to. Then when I had the mk2 there was wayyyyy more questions to be asked searched so forth.. Then Steve and I held that gtg. I probably got 300 posts on that thread a lone.. There was the girls dub lounge.. I had a crappppload of posts in there.. Like at least 40 a day - til ithread locked it.
And between the regional - SC,GA,FL,VA threads.. Which I post in almost everyday...
Then the photography stuff I just recently found out about. .

plus this post... But you'd be amazed at how much information I learned in a year. Before I started on vortex - I couldn't even you the difference between a screw and a BOLT. No just joking. But I really didn't know much when I started. . . and now Steve and I fight about stupid stuff when it comes to cars...

/end thread jack.

i just rented the Canon 100-400mm telephoto IS... should be here monday and I can't wait... I really wanna buy this lens but i figured it would be a good idea to rent it and try it out for a week before i make the investment Thanks for the link guys, I went with http://www.rentglass.com

I checked POTN quickly for a few more references.

http://www.lensrentals.com/ (Seem quite favorably regarded on POTN)

http://borrowlenses.com/

These first two allow you to make a reservation for the particular lens you're looking for. I'm not sure about the next two.

Thanks for the info. One thing I don't like about rentglass is they typically don't have any of the good lenses. I do like them because they are local.

Another one is http://www.thelensdepot.com I haven't rented from them yet but they give you a time when the lens is coming back so you can know to try and wait it out or just search somewhere else.
