I need to hire a couple of Canon lenses in January.

Saw an ad for lensesforhire.co.uk in PP. Website looks good and rates seem
fair.

So, where's the catch? :-)

Does anyone here have experience of this outfit or can recommend any other
similar companies? I'm in London but the door to door delivery service
appeals to me even though it adds to the cost.

Thanks

Garry

No one ever got fired for using Calumet.

Branches in Drummond Street and Wardour Street.

I've never used lensesforhire.co.uk - but they do regularly participate
in a website/forum that I use, and have a very good reputation amongst
those who do use them, e.g.:

Thanks. Will give them a try. What's the worst that could happen?

You pay to hire lenses that turn out to be unusable, then they try to
charge you to fix them?
