 Looking to Rent Lens.. IDK WHERE?! | « » 9:17 AM 5/8/2008 | |
|
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.

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?

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

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.

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

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 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. http://www.lensprotogo.com/ https://www.rentcameragear.com/store/index.php

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.
