Lens rental... trying it out

[Acro76 Verified Sponsor]

I've heard many good reviews about borrowlenses.com so with a trip to chicago next weekend I've decided to give it a try... I've always wanted to try out different lenses, as its really hard to decide with so many choices. I tried a couple of shops near me, but they all wanted $32 to $63 per lens per day for the same lenses I got for a whole week!

I ordered: Canon 10-22 f 3.5-3.5
Canon 70-200 f 4L IS

Total was $155.45 for the 1 week rental with shipping... I'll have them for a few days before and after my trip so no stress about getting them back in time.

I'll post some of the pics when I get a chance!

That is great, never heard about them and a great idea. Is the return shipping included in that or does that end up being done seperate. Look foward to seeing the pictures and also hearing about your experience with using this service.

My friend has rented before and tried out a really expensive lens before he purchased.

Can't wait for the pics!

If you like that 70-200 f/4, you'd really like the f/2.8 IS II. Looking foward to the pics
