Equipment rental in Europe?

[Howard Barlow]

Anyone know of any rental shops for lenses, primarily, or other camera equipment in any of the European countries? A quick search hasn't turned up anything. Having lost 40 lbs. of luggage space (international has dropped from 70 to 50 lbs., x 2 suitcases), it would help to be able to rent some of the stuff.

Any chance of UPS/FedEXing the equipment to where you'll be staying and then shipping it home before you leave?

What kind of Camera? Where in Europe? I would post this question on the appropriate brand board at Fred Miranda and Photo.net.

Both have strong European representation.

Two considerations:

1. I was hoping to rent stuff I don't have.
2. That's gotta be a pricey option. I would probably carry the equipment, if I had it, and buy underwear when I got there. Or not.

I have it posted on Miranda, but I didn't think about the other.

Thanks
