an issue has arisen, at least in my small mind, that it might be helpful for members to know what businesses reliably offer rental of cameras, lenses and other gear
I suggest that we all help each other by listing such companies in this thread and let others know of our actual experiences with such businesses.
I knew of two and have recently learned of a third all available to folks in the US. I am sure that other companies might exist else where as well.
the only one I have used is LensRentals.com
LensRentals.com - Rent Lenses and Cameras from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony, Leica, and more
I have had good experiences with them and even had them deliver, with the agreement of the hotel, to a hotel I was arriving at.
________
there is another I have heard of but not used is borrowlenses.com
Rent professional cameras or camera lenses for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Leica and Pentax

and the one I just learned about is cameralensrentals.com

a couple more just reported:
[quote=murrelet;4764688]I've used Samy's in Southern California:
Samy's Camera: Samy's Camera Rental Department
Pro Photo in Portland, Oregon, also has a rental service:
Photo and Video Rental Equipment | Pro Photo Supply[/quote

just found, by going through the Adorama web site that they have a limited rental program:
" try before you buy "
you get 7 days without charge after that ???
