While searching one day recently, I happened to come across this page. This has become quite a nice resource, but I’d like to recommend The Lens Depot at http://www.thelendsdepot.com. Oscar, who runs the site, is very quick to respond to emails and is very communicative. They carry both Canon and Nikon equipment, although, their collection is not as extensive as some of the bigger ones. However, I’ve found their prices be lower than most of these posted here.

[...] Jared at Pro Photo Rental (prophotorental.com) just sent me some information about their rental business located in Boulder, Colorado. I’ve used a couple of these services personally (read reviews of Rentglass and Ziplens) and we also have a handy roundup of online rental services. [...]

Thanks for the great comparison. This also helps those of us who do have local rental options available to ensure that those options are, in fact, reasonably priced and in-line with options available elsewhere. The comparison of the sites you presented was great; you’ve saved me several hours of future research time. :-)

Hello…I have only one experience to share, and it was a good one. I shoot primarily motion pictures, but once in a while, stills for time lapse sequences…I rented a Canon 40D body from Lens pro to Go, a company that my Daughter uses and swears by, and I had an absolute great experience…the body arrived early, came in a Pelican case inside of a shipping box, was beautifully clean, etc. And the price when everything was considered, was very competetive. I highly recommend Paul.

I’d like to say that I’ve used LensProToGo and his prices are actually pretty reasonable. This site says that he includes shipping into his lens rentals to make a profit. But I’ve compared the same lenses at his shop versus other rental places and yes INITIALLY the other places look cheaper. But, after shipping fees you’ll find other places to be at around the same price or more. And a lot of places won’t even offer insurance.

I rent from LPTG because of the insurance and the fact that I have someone to talk to on the phone if I need to. I mean who wants to rent a lens from a place that doesn’t offer any coverage on damage or theft. Most people rent because they can’t afford to buy, if there’s no insurance and something happens you’re screwed. But, with that said LensProToGo isn’t the only place that offers insurance on their rentals so look around. Somehow I always come back to LPTG though.

Hi All,

Just wanted to give you a quick status update about the business. Since this article has been written we have invested heavily into expanding both our Nikon and Canon selection. The Nikon shortage that John mentioned has been fixed. We have also switched to shipping everything FedEx 2nd day as a standard. They have been other various improvements made to the service.

Please come take a look at BorrowLenses.com.

Thanks,
Max

Wow. I hope next time some kind of this shop will exist in Malaysia.
