Where do you rent lenses? We have a local camera shop that sells pentax but they have very little in stock. Last time I checked they were out of the K5 series of camera's and only carry one Pentax lens, the DA 18-135. And I mean 1 lens total on their shelf!

I have rented from Borrowlenses.com because they are local (SF bay area) so I could pick up and return the lenses (and avoid) shipping etc. They also ship, and they have both the DA 15 and the DA 21 (among other pentax lenses). The other big online rental site that I have heard of is Lensrentals.com, but I don't know anything about them.
