Renting Specialty Glass

Feb 05, 2011 Filed in: Equipment | Digital Photography

If you're like me, you covet expensive lenses but can't justify the cost to own them and didn't realize at first that you can rent them to cover your immediate need for much, much less - by David R. Beebe

If you've ever wanted to get your hands on expensive, specialty glass for a test drive before purchasing or to fulfill s short-term need, check out lensrentals.com. I've rented the Canon EOS 300mm f2.8, 2x and Wimberly II head to take to Yellowstone and a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 for slot canyons in Arizona. You can rent the lens with damage waiver coverage too which is not a bad idea when you are holding a lens you can't normally afford. Why risk having to buy one as a replacement when you can't justify buying it for yourself?
