The downside of relatively inexpensive digital SLRs is that there’s an inclination to spend even more money on lenses to suit your purpose. From children’s sporting events to safaris, you can throw ungodly sums of money at lenses. But what’s the best for you?

Enter the realm of lens rentals. Photodoto does an excellent roundup of 8 online rental companies, so instead of rushing out to your local camera store to lust after the $2000 and up lenses, rent them and try them out. If you’re balking at the prices, another way to go about trying out expensive lenses is to buy them from Amazon, B&H or Adorama and then eBay them when done and recoup a majority of the lens cost.

    For some reason I never thought about renting a lens online before. There have been a couple trips where I could have used a better or special lens but never had the time to go calling or driving around. Thanks for the tip!

    I found that renting lenses could be very beneficial for those that want to use a special lens or would only find use for special lenses once or twice a year. There is no reason to spend the kind of $$ for a lens that will spend most of its time in the camera bag.

    I would highly recommend http://www.mjlensrentals.com They offer a wide selection with affordable rates. Their web site is secure and safe for CC transaction. The one down side to this place is they only rent Canon Lenses. Most all of their lenses are The Canon L Series glass, totally top notch.
