Lens Rentals in DFW area - 03-22-2006, 10:23 AM


Does anyone have suggestions on a good place for daily/weekly lens rentals in the DFW area? I'm headed there a couple of weeks and intend to do a little shooting. A 300 2.8 IS would be quite useful. Thanks for any help.

I've been wanting to rent a 400mm 2.8 from these folks, but just haven't had a chance, yet ... http://www.dallascamera.com/

I've bought a lot of stuff from Rick at Arlington camera, great guy. Not sure if they rent.

You might give Eugene a call at competitive camera, not sure if they rent either. http://www.lonestardigital.com/CC/co...ve_cameras.htm

The best place I found in Dallas was Competitive Cameras on Irving Blvd.
I have rented numerous Canon IS and L lens and the rate was excellent.

Check with Rhamsey or Eugene.

One note: I have never had to pay a deposit at CC.

I ended up at Ft. Worth Camera mostly due to locale. I shot at the zoo for the first time today. Great zoo and a beautiful day! Thanks for all the suggestions.
