Where is your go-to place when you need to rent a lens (by mail)?

Bryce K · 03-20-2015, 09:10 AM

When you have the need to rent a lens, who is your go to vendor? For me if I needed to rent one it would most likely be a long telephoto. What in your opinion(s) are the best vendors for this based on 1. Lens selection, 2. Price, 3. Availability, 4. Customer service. Thanks in advance.

Are there any places to rent K-mount lenses other than LensRentals.com or CameraLensRentals.com?

I think BorrowLenses.com has them too.

I have used Camera Lens Rentals and been very satisfied. Good selection and nice lenses.

Totally agree, CLR has the best Pentax selection and I've always had good service from them. Once you get to be their customer, you get periodic emails with nice rental deals too.

I've only used CLR once but was highly impressed by their service. They even called me to make sure the lens got to me on time (it actually came a day early).

Thank you for all the replies. I had done some searching and found Lens Rentals and CLR (not hard) but was wondering if there were any other lesser known rental places that any member here had had a positive experience with.

I've used CLR and they're great.
