Go to www.lensrentals.com (http://www.lensrentals.com)

The guy is super nice and they have great customer service. Fair prices and offer insurance. They quote everything up front.

I know some people around here have used them and I am about to also.

One cool thing about their business model is that if you give them 2 weeks notice for a 2 week rental they will guarantee you a reservation. If they don't have it for you, they will buy another copy!!

Really, give them a shot!!!

If you are looking to rent locally then Samy's Camera in Los Angeles is one of the best west coast stores around, comparable to B&H on the east coast. I know that they rent equipment, but have no idea if they rent lenses.

Here's some more choices,

www.rentcameragear.com

www.lensestorent.com

www.lensprotogo.com

I've only ever rented from the first one, I keep the others I listed(as well as the others posted previously) bookmarked just in case I want something that Kevin hasn't in stock.

Agreed with the above. Everything said is true about them. Used them myself before and are just great.
