I am just asking for any info on a good place to rent lenses.


If you are in Southern California Sammy's Camera has several locations which rent lens for a better price especially if you pick them up. Especially good for weekend rentals which they are only charge for a single day.

I have rented from both Lens Rental and BorrowLenses. Both are great and one of them will have what I am interested in.

Get to know Lens Rental. They are easy
to do business with, dependable in their
dealings, knowledgeable about
photo equipment. I have rented several
lens from them to use on longer trips
(Alaska, Canada, Maine etc) The lens are
at a FedEx “store” at the nearest city,
like new and on time. Great variety of
photo equip available Call them; You’ll
be glad you did. Ted Evans

I used BorrowLenses. I didn't know about LensRental, but was very pleased with Borrow Lenses. I will say that they didn't have a camera I wanted to try, but I couldn't expect them to carry every lens or camera on the market.

I have found that LensRental has more Pentax equipment than most others places.

I'm all for renting before buying. I bought a full mirrorless setup...camera and 3 lenses before finding I hated the camera. I've still got the 3 lenses to try to sell. That was the camera that they had out on loan before I bought the set up. It's possible the different rental companies "specialize" in different brands so they don't overlap.

UPDATE
I rented the nikon 500mm pf lens from borrowlenese for The Biggest Week at Magee Marsh. Used it on a D500 body sharp photos but the bokeh looked kind of funny to me but I had lots of fun.
Thank you.
