where to borrow lenses??

jgirl57 · 02-06-2016, 11:48 PM

I am wishing to do a rent lenses but I am having a very hard time finding the lenses I am wanting to try out before buying it.. spending over 1k is a huge deal to me and I wish to try them out first to make sure I like the lenses...
Borrow lenses.com does not even carry the lenses but I am not sure about the other rental places or know if they are trustworthy..

I am debating between the Pentax 450 or the Sigma 500mm and I am having a hard time making up my mind about it, so I thought it would be best just to rent to find out for myself :-)

other websites that are good to get lenses for?? I am hoping to get a good couple weeks out of it at least. TIA

In denmark you have a right to return any web-purchase within 14 days of delivery and you are allowed to try out the product. So I just buy lenses and cameras and return them for a refund if I do not like them. Maybe you have similar rights where you come from?

LensRentals.com has the SMC D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6 DC AW for rent. I have never seen the Sigma 500mm for rent anywhere.
