Default Lens Rental - Settle the Score
If I want to do online lens rental (in the US), what is the best place with favorable renters policy and selection?

I usually use Adorama but they are closed on a date where I'm scheduled to shoot a wedding and now my cost have ballooned because I have to do one of their week long specials...crap! Didn't factor that into the price I'm charging!

Also, are there any camera rental locations that aren't closed on Jewish holidays like Adorama and B&H?

I have never used this company, but I have seen positive reviews for them on this site - LensRentals.com - Rent Canon, Nikon, Olympus, or Sony Lenses

Try Calumet.

CSI is legit, but they're more film-oriented IIRC.

Edit: use the edit button.

yeah so have I, it's just so expensive...compared to an adarama...but i guess thats what happens when you factor in shipping and they prob have a smaller operation then the B&h's of the world

that's expensive as well...

like for instance...i'm renting an 85mm f/1.2 L II; adorama is like $12 cheaper a day...but i guess i'll recheck and factor in my comparisons differently to account for the fact i dont need the equipment that long
