"Affordable way to test lenses prior to purchasing. Only recommendation for BL is to state on our online order is you need to have the exact credit card you used to rent the lens handy when picking up from pick-up locations. Good thing I had the card I used on me or I would have to travel 15 miles back home to get the card."
"I've rented from Borrowlenses.com a handful of times now and I've been extremely happy with the great customer service and wonderful products they carry. I've only had one or two issues and they resolved them immediately. No complaints here! "
"I have rented lenses multiple times from BorrowLenses. Never ever had any problems receiving the lens or returning it and never had any issues with the rented equipment. Always courteous and always helpful and I have only received service with a smile."
"Had my first experience with Borrow Lenses. They had great prices on some additional equipment I needed for a shoot. With Memorial Day weekend, I basically got a 3-day rental for 5-days which was a nice bonus.
The equipment arrived in good condition, and worked perfectly. The return process includes a return label and the packaging was awesome and easily reusable.
I had some issues when the credit card used to reserve the equipment months earlier had changed. I got nervous that I might lose my reservation, but I called and they were friendly and helpful. They re-entered my order with the new info and got everything out on time.
The only caveat, and this may vary based on where you live is they used FedEx to ship and return the item. FedEx is horrible in my area (New York). It's 45 minutes from my house and unlike UPS, FedEx will NOT PICKUP these packages. I had to drive 45 minutes away to drop them off. Next time I'll call and request UPS and pay additional if necessary to avoid the hassle. "
"Good way to try out lenses that would otherwise be fairly expensive. Rental process was very easy. I might suggest choosing to pick your order up at a UPS/FedEX location otherwise you can knock a day off your rental due to delivery time. Only reason I would consider not renting from them again is due to my schedule leaving only a day to use the rental. Liked being able to choose a specific date for arrival."
"Affordable rental, great lens in excellent condition -- easy interactions and fast processing time on order."
"I have always enjoyed working with people from BorrowLenses. They have been helpful any time I had to make adjustments to an order. They have all the items that I have been wanting to rent and in some cases rent a second time. "
"I have used Borrowlenses 4 times now. No complaints so far. I like their packaging when i receive their items. Everything is so securely tucked in. Plus a return sticker alread printed out for me, ready to go…is too good.

"Great service, enabling you to try out equipment to help in decision making. Reasonable rates, easy to extend rental period on their website. I will surely rent from them again. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I will always rent before I buy any new equipment in the future. Additionally I would consider buying used from them if the opportunity arose because my rental was in excellent condition."
"First time I have used BorrowLenses and they were great! Rented a Canon 70-200mm lens and it arrived with great extras like a hood, tripod mount, and cap. Shipping both directions were without incident and they communicate every step of the way. Would highly recommend and will use again on my next trip!
Thank you BL !!"
"Great, professional, easy! A+
My first time rental of video equipment and BorrowLenses made it super easy. 3 day rental, easy pick up in multiple locations in my city, open after 5pm (on weekdays) for returns. All around good experience. Thank you."
"Rented ColorMunki to sync up my printer and both monitors. I could not get the software to run. Since Borrow Lenses decided to supply necessary s/w they need to make sure it's updated and that it works. There's a hot fix that I had to search for download and install to make it work. I spend considerable time researching the problem. This Hot fix needs to be part of the s/w bundle that was supplied on thumb drive along with the X-Rite. Also provided version of software was old. There's free new version online available. Also shipping for this item is very high. Over 50% of overall cost of borrowing it was for shipping and that is without extra insurance. Outrages. "
"BorrowLenses is a great source for professional photographers to test equipment by renting first. I have rented several times and have never been disappointed. They provide extremely expeditious service and are willing to work with you to help you in anyway possible. The equipment is always in great shape, they will move it once it gets too used. I highly recommend them."
"Used them twice and both times were without incident. Gear was in pretty good condition. This order was 24-70mm Nikon f2.8. Arrived on time, no issues.
Used lens to shoot music festival. Can see pics from shoot here 904pics.com"
"This was my first time ever using borrowlenses.com rental service and I enjoyed my experience 100%. I am an amateur photographer and I rented a 24-70mm 2.8F for an important fundraiser. Lense was in great condition, delivered on time and the return was so easy. Just put it back in a box amd drop off at the nearest FedEx. I also loved the reminder emails as well as a notification that I had returned the lense sucessfully and in excellent condition. I will rent again. "
