Have you ever wished you had a different camera lens or camera body for an upcoming trip or special event, but do not want to pay hundreds or even more for it? Or maybe you want to purchase a new camera lens or camera base, but worried it won’t be exactly what you expected? BorrowLenses is the perfect solution!
BorrowLenses is a rental company for professional photo and video gear. They have a huge selection of lenses and camera bases to choose from. You can choose what day you want your lens delivered and customize how many days you want to rent the lens or camera for.
I used BorrowLenses on our summer trip to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. I rented a lens that I had been considering buying: Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 for Nikon. However, I did not want to commit to such an expensive lens without trying it out first. I am really glad that I rented it. I enjoyed the quality of the photos from this lens and it was on my camera 90% of the time. However, it was really heavy and did not give me quite as much zoom as I would have liked. The other 1o% of the time I had my kit lens on that went to 200mm.
I do not regret renting this lens at all; I feel that it was a great use of money and the photos that captured our family trip where wonderful quality. I will definitely be using BorrowLenses again, especially to try out any lenses that I am considering purchasing!
