Hey Everyone,

On april 29th im heading down to baytown with some friends for the NHRA drag races and i really want to get some good pictures the only problem is i dont have a long enough lens. So i was wanting to know if anyone has any recommendations locally either the austin or houston area or online. Thanks for the help

I used this place to rent a 100-400mm for a Dynamo game I got to shoot. Local Houston pickup and decent prices. The lens was in great condition and couldn't tell it was a "rental"

I've heard good experience with Light Tec in Houston. I've heard of Photo Rental Source as well, but can't vouch for them.

I used Photo Rental Source a few weeks ago... I was really happy with my experience there... Brad, the owner is a good guy to deal with. Customer Service is A++!

Plus I like having the pick up/drop off location being so close. Dairy Ashford/Memorial area

I've used them twice and had a great experience.

One more for Photo Rental Source, they really made it an easy experience, will definately use them again.

I use borrowlenses.com. They ship them right to your door with a return shipping label. Their service has been great both times I've used them. I'm getting ready to reserve again for Featherfest in Galveston.

just out of curiosity what lens would yall recommend. i was looking at the canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6 will that be fast enough. but i dont want anything to heavy but i also want something with a really good range of length to it

100 - 400 will be more than enough range to get you some good shots. The 5.6 will be fast enough as the races are during the day but if the sun goes down and the lights come on you will find that it will be quite slow.

I would also take a "normal prime or zoom" with you as well. Something like the 24-105 would be perfect as the pits are open access and you can get close to the cars.

I shoot my brother there on open track nights (fridays) and it's all under dark stadium lighting (and it sucks lol). The last 3 images are my brother racing shot with a 24-105 @ f/4. Look at last 3 images in this gallery These were show from the side of the track and not in the stands so the 100-400 as you can tell will be plenty of reach.

I've gotten the 100-400 from Photo Rental Source and from Lensrentals.com Both were great. I did like the local company a little better since it saved me a bunch on shipping. Real easy to work with...

Massive agreement!!

I was introduce to that place from this forum. This is my go to place. If they don't have what I want there, I go somewhere else.

I pick up 2 rentals next week from photo rental source. Before I ever spent money brad was going above and beyond. They offer weekend rates and discounts if you rent more than one item, as well as local pickup. +9!
