(wasn't sure if this should be in Photography Business section so SC can move if need be...thanks)
As some of you know from a previous thread, I got to go to my first NASCAR race this last weekend (some images here) and before I went I wanted to rent a nice lens. I did a search for my local area but couldn't find anything, so I went with a more global search. I found hundreds of places but rarely anyone that carried Olympus 4/3 lenses, so I narrowed it further and finally found one.
In lieu of all possibly aimless searching of the web I was hoping this thread could be a place where maybe you could list some rental companies that you use or know of. (I am pretty sure there was even one person on DPC that started a rental company and seems to be doing ok so they would be a nice addition as well.)
The place I found and will use again if the need comes up is:
Pro Photo Rental in Colorado.
Although I'd never rented before, their prices seemed very resonable, (at least certainly in my limited budget range), and they had a good selection of lenses and even the E3 body, and carry canon and nikon too. Sure the inventory might not be HUGE but still seems to cover the bases most probably need. I received my lens early and wasn't charged the 2 extra days and when I screwed up the return, he quickly helped me resolve it all. Very pleasant staff to work with so I thought I would pass the information on.
(p.s. I rented the Zuiko Digital 50-200 f/2.8-3.5 SWD...a wonderful lens but it gets heavy in the bag with other equipment.)

| CameraLensRental has Pentax lens and accessories for rent, as well as Nikon and Canon equipment. I haven't used them,but their ResellersRatings score is pretty good. |
