Would anyone loan me a lens?(Found one!)

[Jake]

I need to rent a 10-22mm or something really wide for a Canon 20d that is not a fisheye for a week. It cost a little more then $100 to rent that long and I don't really have any money
Anyway, I'm going to Seattle on June 9th and coming back on June 14th so the lens would be leaving the state. I will be taking all my photo gear with me except my alien bees so if anyone would like to trade a wide lens for some alien bees for 1 week we could do that or I could owe someone a favor.
If anyone has any other ideas feel free to send me a PM.

If this sounds like a desperate plea, that's only because it is.

One thing you can try (if you're desperate enough) is to rent a lens while in Seattle for just the time that you need it (if it's not the entire week). There's a few places in town that will rent. Here's an example:

Just a thought. If I had a Canon mount, I'd lend it to you in a second.

Here's Jake now Rental....why didn't I think of that?!

Are you going to be in Seattle the whole time or doing some touring?

[Jake]

Thanks for that link Joe. That place has TONS of stuff to rent!
I'm not sure how many days I will need it but maybe the whole time.

Pete; we will be doing some touring, my parents are giving us a tour of the rain forest, Mt Rainer and I'm not sure where else. We will be staying a few days in the mountains at a hotel or cabin...not sure where

Other places to check out while you are there include:

Deception Pass Bridge/Park

Skagit Valley Tulips...the festival was in April, but there may still be some flowers in bloom. It's very impressive.

The quaint little town of La Conner. A great place to relax and take some pictures.

Have fun.

Sounds great Jake! Gotta hit the fish market too. Nothing like a big 'ole fish shot with the fish!

Widest thing I have is a 24mm f/1.8 from Sigma

That's the next lens I want to buy, sorry I don't have it for you to use. I bet you would get some awesome photos there with a wide angle.

Thanks for all the offers!
Some very kind TPF'ers offered to loan me a lens, some knew me an some had never met me.
What a bunch of great folks we have here......
