"I've needed a fast wide angle lens for a wedding. BorowLenses shipped the lens promptly. Great service, great way to test drive an expnsive lens."

"I rented a Canon 7D and 24-70mm f/2.8 lens from Borrow Lenses. Although it was a bit time consuming to have to produce several forms of ID, I appreciate that was a requirement so no one could ever rent equipment at this site with my name and credit card. It was also proof positive that Borrow Lenses was a trustworthy site and that I would receive a quality product.

I've since recommended the site to several friends. The prices are reasonable and its a great way to try out equipment before making an investment on equipment. It was so easy, I can't wait until I'm able to rent again!

"Wow, I'm not sure there's any point to this with so many OTHER excellent reviews, but needless to say, the experience was great. They customized my order and everything went off without a hitch. I will say that it would have been better if they had indicated additional verification would be needed to ship to an address other than the billing address. I mean, I never ship things to my home and rarely have this additional hurdle. Anything you can do to warn people, or better yet, eliminate the drama, would be a big plus. Dock a star for that, but otherwise excellent."

"Well I would say I have mixed reviews of BorrowLenses.com. The website was easy to use and the order arrived on time. The main issue I have is that that they listed a lens they didn't have. They had a much older, discontinued version, that wouldn't fit my Gh2. So they sent that. I just have a problem advertising and renting me a lens they didn't have at all. It wasn't that it wasn't in stock, they never had the lens to begin with. They did refund my money, but when I needed the lens most for a wedding they failed. Leaving me with no time to go with another company. "

"Such a great experience. I am so sad that I had to return the lens.
I borrowed the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 - I'm totally a fan and will buy it as soon as I can afford it.
The customer service is great, they keep you informed along the way and returning the item is super simple.

Definitely will borrow from them again.

"Every November for the past 3 years, we head to Gatlinburg TN for a few days of relaxing in a cabin in the mountains. One of our favorite places to go is Cades Cove. There is normally a good assortment of wildlife to see. Photography is just a hobby for me, but knowing that there was a good chance we would see some deer and what not, I wanted a good telephoto lens to go on my Nikon D90.

About a month before our trip, I was on Facebook and saw an ad on the side for Borrow Lenses. Previously I had been to our local camera shop to see about rentals, but all they had was off brand lenses. When I visited the borrow lenses website, their prices were in-line with our local shop.

I didn't do any research on them, but just decided to get the 70-200 F2.8 VRII lens, which from what I've seen online is a spectacular lens.

The week before we left I placed my order online at the borrowlenses.com website without any issues. I'm a member of NAPP and did get a discount applied to my order so that helped too.

The lens arrived as scheduled 2-days before we were to leave on our trip. It arrived well packaged and protected. The lens was in fantastic condition and looked brand new.

Needless to say, it worked marvelously during our 4 days in Gatlinburg and I got pictures of deer that I know I would not have been able to get with any other lens (for that rental price of less than $150).

I returned it the following week and received a confirmation email a few days later they had received it and it was in excellent condition.

I have been incredibly pleased with this experience and will rent from them again in the future. Especially since I can't justify spending $2500 on a lens I use once or twice a year!

"Absolutely horrible customer service. I live in a private culdesac with a closed in porch and they would not allow fedex to deliver without a signature. I work during the day and the guy I spoke with told me it wasnt his problem and that I needed to form my schedule around the delivery. He threatened my liability as a photographer and was completely unhelpful. I paid 45$ for shipping and ended up having to drive 45 minutes to pick up the camera myself. I recommend ATS Rentals, they are MUCH easier to work with."

"Great service! Fast turnaround time! Rental items were in great condition, arrived with all the necessary parts, and were well packaged so that the box could be reused to send the item back. I also appreciated the email reminder that the night before the rental was due to be shipped back!"

"I used BorrowLenses for the first time after following them on Twitter for several months. They were awesome!

I was leaving the country for a week long shoot and FedEX messed up my delivery. BorrowLenses jumped up and shipped me another lens for Saturday delivery to my home and worked with FedEX to get the original lens returned. I didn't have to worry about anything, they took care of all the details.

They will be my first choice for lens rental from now on!

"Cannot believe how easy and convenient this process was to complete. Needed a lens in a hurry, asked for a Saturday delivery and it arrived on Friday! Insurance coverage when needed, top quality product, reasonable rates and great people to deal with. I highly recommend them."
