Obviously I don't think its a dumb idea - that's my link above. And there is huge demand - I can't keep bodies in stock.
The tough part is figuring depreciation. Its pretty easy on lenses. I know...

I find the 70-300 IS to be a surprsingly good lens. Far better than the 75-300 that preceded it.

Hi everyone,
I'm the owner of lensrentals and an occasionally participant on this forum. We have a slightly different business model that is built around planned delivery of lenses rather than 'next...

I voted for the 85 because my very favorite, the 135 f2 wasn't an option.

I may be in the minority but I find a quality difference between my 5D and 30D - basically in noise (really grain, its not chroma noise). Its not dramatic, but its noticeable. I can tell from my...

A lot of lenses, most really, aren't quite as sharp even in the center with the aperture wide open. Stopping down even a little can make a big difference. My own experience is my 50mm 1.8 isn't sharp...

Was out playing with an IR modified 20D and stumbled across this shot as the sun was setting.

The 17-40 is a very nice lens on full frame, but you'll definitely need something longer and unless your a wide angle fan its probably too long for a walkaround on a full frame.
This, of course,...

The low light part is tough. For $1500 I think CWPhoto's recommendation is best for dedicated birding. For $3000 I'd probably stay with the 400XTi ($800), get a 100-400 L for more flexibility ($1300)...

Well, just to be different, my black lab in infrared. He's apparently black in all color spectrums:o

I'd add that while the 28-105 IS is a nice lens it needs to be stopped down some to be sharp, which the 24-105 does not. It also has an older IS system that isn't as effective as the 24-105. There's...

I'd throw out one other thought: a Sigma 15mm fisheye is one of my most used lenses on a crop body. Its wide, extremely sharp, easy to defish in software, fast at f2.8 and cheap at under $300 used....

I've bought a number of things from them and like that they don't call to bait and switch. Their price is usually the lowest or very close to it. I have returnd one item without problem, although it...

BonjiB, I have two new 70-200 f2.8s on the way and should have them by the end of the week.

Rhys I'm a Tamron fan every since I got a 28-75 f 2.8 a couple of years ago. I stillthink one of the...

If you're most interested in a fast, longer lens for the plays and such, the Canon 200m f 2.8L is a superb lens that can be had for under 500 on eBay pretty regularly. It won't help your closer shots...

:D My experience is that everybody's got an opinion on lenses, even if they've never used them:D

I'm one of those people that the gear fascinates me as much as what it produces. I'm always...

Unix,

Indeed, Rhys, you were :-). Although Midsouthphotography is rather quiet since Lensrentals began going insane a couple of months ago:rolleyes: A little portrait work is all I've had time to do.

Hi all,
My name's Roger Cicala - I own Lensrentals.com. We've done local rentals (Memphis, TN) for a while specializing in longer telephoto lenses and bodies and opened for mail order rental in...
