"This is a great service. Allowed me to get a perfect quality lens for a week at a great price. I would use them whenever I need a specialty lens for a project or I need to extend my collection for a while.
The one qualm I have is that they charge a $15 courier fee in the bar area anywhere outside San Carlos. I'm sure this is a flat cost, but it would make a huge difference if there were free pickup locations in Berkeley/Oakland or San Francisco and that difference would definitely incite me to use the service more."
"AMAZING expereience! My camera is in the shop. Ordered this on Tiesday - had it by Friday. They frogot to send the memory card and offered to remimburse me if I bought one. Doesn't get any better than that. And I was able to try out the camera I would like to purcahse down the road to boot! Thanks you BorrowLenses!"
"I had a great first experience renting a lens from BorrowLenses.com. I made a mistake in my shipping address and when I went to track my rental, it showed that it wouldn't be delivered on the day I needed it. I contacted BorrowLenses and they called FedEx on my behalf and arranged to have the lens delivered to me. It is that kind of customer service that will have me coming back to rent again."
"I've rented from BorrowLenses.com numerous times and keep coming back because the gear is always in immaculate condition.
Have always done pickup since they are local, but needed some big glass for a trip and had them ship to a FEDEX ship and hold store. The lens arrived right on time. My only problem is there was no return label in the box. A quick call and they emailed the return label to the FEDEX office right away. Return was quick and easy. Good customer service is important and BorrowLenses.com came through. Would definitely use them again."
"Amazing. That's really all you need to know.
Top notch customer service, excellent selection.
About half the price of renting locally (at least around here).
Definitely the best you will find anywhere."
"I rented a lens kit. What a great service to offer. I thought the price was a bit expensive. I spent $51 for renting the product but with shipping to/ from it was $81. $30 of unexpected fees. Suddenly, to me, this wasn't as helpful as I thought and I will have to be judicious about how often I rent things.
I appreciated the clear communication, reminders and confirmations. The one thing that I was very surprised not to see was the manual for the product that I rented. Not having had experience, it was a little frustrating not to have a manual to look at before trying to manipulate it.
All in all, they have a good thing going."
"I have used BorrowLenses twice. I live just outside Boston MA so its a long way away. But These guys were the only ones with a SB-800 flash for Nikon. I needed that as its the only flash that works with my JRX Radiopoppers. The newer flashes are not able to work in TTL on the JRX. Flash arrived on the date specified. Good condition. Worked fine. In some instances better than my SB-900. It was missing the diffuser but I got one from my local camera place easily enough. The pouch was an after market one and a little large and loose which I think lead me to loose the tripod base but I found it later on the floor where I opened the box. Overall good experience. This time I remembered to take it back to a proper Fedex shop to return. Whole transaction was great. I would recommend to friends for event shoots or just if you want to try out a product and see if its what you want to invest in. "
"Needed a really good wide angle lens for a promo shoot. Ordered the 20mm lens at a great deal. $20 dollars for the lens, and $27 dollars round trip shipping. Lens, came in awesome condition with a UV filter attached at no extra cost. Shoot schedule changed and company was nice enough to extend my order for 4 days with only another $17.75 added to the order. Work came out great and response was quick. I look forward to using them again in future projects. "
"Incredible service and the best prices around! I am always a bit nervous having gear arrive by courier the DAY BEFORE I leave for a destination wedding but they BorrowLenses.com has never missed delivery. I always rent the Nikon D3S and lenses to go with my own D3S and lenses and their gear is always in immaculate condition! I highly recommend this supplier!

"Excellent service for photographers. One of our cameras needed repairs with a wedding the next week. I went on line, reserved a d300 from borrowlenses. When the wedding day arrived we had the cameras we needed and everything went smoothly. Thanks,for the quick and easy rental. "
"Renting and returning with these guys is great!
The lens arrived on time with a return shipping label.
Its that easy."
"Rented a Canon 10-22mm ultra wide zoom and neutral density filter for landscape and interior shots for a European vacation. Terrific lens. The rental process was very easy and the service was great. Flawless transaction from one end to the other. I will definitely use them again. "
