pntrs.com/t/TUJGRktHSkJHRkpISUVCRkpOSkVN?url=Lensrentals.com wants $72 for me to rent a 15mm Ltd for a week, including shipping. Not a bad price, but I wanted to check to see if anyone here has that lens and would like $50 toward their own lens fund instead. Anyone?

Thanks!

Sorry Jon. I got rid of my DA 15 some time ago. I traded another Forum member for his FA* 24 and never looked back.

I remember you mentioning that. But the 15's legendary flare resistance is so appealing to me for architectural work.

You're right. That's where the 15 really shines.

If you regularly need something like the 15 for architecture shots, why not buy instead of rent?

The problem is that I don't yet need to. I have had more success getting editing clients than I have real estate and architectural clients. Hard to justify it at my current level. But I have an opportunity to shoot an 8 figure home in Park City for a property management firm, so I want to rent one to get the optimal quality, then leverage those images for more business so I can buy it.

Believe me, it hurts to rent something I want to buy. But it hurts more if buying right now means I can't pay the rent.
