Interesting, I did not think about renting an equipment :) but its really good to know!!! I would appriciate if someone could post his/her experience with renting an equipment from any where not just from this site.
Well, just looking at the site, I see that there are are like 4 lenses in stock. And at that, a lot of local shops rent out lenses/cameras for about the same price - that might be a better option.
Well, I have never used a rent service so I don't really know..
My opinion on the matter though even though the site looks trustable, I would still call before sending payments..
Also if you are renting and say you wanted a lense for even just 6 to 8 weeks then by the time you add shipping you could save up enough for a decent lense that would be your own.. Think about it, where do you want to spend your money: rent or own????

Absolutely Trustable. I rented the 70-200mm as well as a 1.5x converter from them. Ordering and the shipping was fast and flawless. If there are any problems/delays at all they will call you; very courteous people.

Thanks for the feedback! Do you know if their stock is always so low? Almost everything they offer is out of stock. :-/
Yeah their stock has always been on the fringe of nonexistence; I think they must have like 1 of each product. If there's something you want, sign up for the email notification; it might be unreliable though, so check the website OFTEN.
Well I'm finally going to try this service. I rented the 100-400 just a few minutes ago, will see how long it takes to get here, and will report on the eqiupment itself. I wanted to try this lens out to see if its good enough for what I want it for.
