[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 274241, member: 14629"] OK, thanks. I've checked around quite a bit, BarrowLenses, LensRental, Sammy's, Rentglass, and a few others. However, there's one outfit about 45 minutes from my place called TopLensRental ([URL="http://toplensrental.com/Default.aspx"]Camera Lens Rental. Rent professional cameras or camera lenses for Canon and Nikon. http://www.TopLensRental.com[/URL]) and their rates are very reasonable plus I can avoid shipping cost. Given this is the first time working with this company I want to inspect the glass on the spot. They assure me there will be no problems but we'll see. For the 2 lenses on a 7 day rental it's just a tad under $200. They have been fantastic answering all my questions and emails. Interesting tidbit about Rentglass is even though their rental rates are reasonable, their website is darn quirky. At first glance, their layout makes it easy to see what lenses they offer, but then when you click on the 24-70mm f/2.8 it's noted "Out of Stock". Same story with the 70-200mm f/2.8. Obviously these are popular rentals, but OK, I got it, you don't have the lens now, but. . . I'm renting in June - 3 months in away. Got to wonder if they are missing out on business because of their silly procedure. Sammy's seemed to only have a daily rate. They are very close to Los Angeles, California, so maybe that system works out for them but not me. BarrowLenses seems to have a lot of gear, even the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM A Nikon, which I'm thinking about renting before I buy. Their rental rates were considerably higher. Cheers.
