"I rented a 7d body and 580exII to shoot my sisters wedding. The equipment arrived on time, was wellpacked, looked like new, worked perfectly and was easy to return. I will definitely use them again"
"I have rented several times for these folks now, ranging from a Nikon D3s and several lenses, to several different camcorders. In each case the customer service folks were helpful, and I got the desired equipment on time, in perfect condition. Their prices are competitive, and they deliver what they promise. I will look forward to continuing our business relationship. Strongly recommend.
Edited to add: Sadly after returning this order, Borrowlenses decided I had failed to return one cable. They charged me for it, as per their policy. I never received said cable, and didnt know it was missing.
Edited yet again to add:
After review the staff at Borrowlenses decided NOT to charge me for the missing cable. They offered some constructive tools to avoid any confusion in the future. In other words, they did the right thing by me, treating me very well, taking my word that the cable was missing in the original shipment. I appreciate their additional effort!"
"I was able to rent a camera for two weeks from BorrowLenses for the price it would've cost me to rent the same gear for 3 days elsewhere. I will definitely use BorrowLenses for all my rental needs."
"My order came at the right time, and it was very simple to send it back. I rented a telephoto lens for my m4/3 camera for our vacation to a national park. I was able to get some excellent wildlife shots with it."
"I have rented from BL before. This time I was going on a trip to Grand Canyon and I wanted to take pictures that mattered (enough of crappy photos). That thought came to me fairly late and I decided to rent from the local shop instead (in Palo Alto, CA) and for the 2 lenses I was quoted over $500. In my frustration I checked what that would of cost me from Borrowlenses if I had done that in time (knowing that I most like will not get from them because my trip was only 2 days away and shipping would take much longer). I submitted my request for these same lenses and I got quoted $200 with next day pick up at my local photo shop in San Jose, CA.
For sure I cancelled my order with that shop and rented from BL. I was very happy with the quickness of service and the quality of the lens and extremely happy with the pictures I got."
"I gave up the 2 bags of 35mm gear years ago and have been using a point & shoot with great results, but always feel limited: lenses, manual settings, resolution, etc. Finally started searching for a DSLR and this is a fantastic way to 'test drive' a big investment. Gear (camera & 2 lenses) was like new, battery never needed charging in a weeks work, operator manual included though cautioned it may not be available. Only anxious part was delivery. FedEx is terrible in my remote location, so an option like pick up will be considered next time. Their staff responded quickly when delivery fears heightened. Highly recommended!"
"BorrowLenses.com is a great company to rent from. They have good rates and make it easy to handle insurance and shipping. They contact you personally to let you know your gear is coming. Very refreshing in a world where most companies treat you like an order number. I have rented both glass and cameras from them and never had an issue."
"I had an amazing experience with borrowlenses.com. It was a flawless transaction with ease and pleasure. I would recommend them to anyone. "
"It was easy to find the lenses I wanted to take on my trip to Alaska. I ordered them in advance and they arrived as expected. BorrowLenses support was easy to contact and assured me that I was getting the right lenses for my camera. The Lenses were in great shape. The prices were extremely reasonable and I love the staff. I have already highly recommended BorrowLenses to other pro photographer friends."
"I have used BorrowLenses for over 3 years now and NEVER have I been disappointed. I save so much money utilizing their canon line of lenses for multiple occasions. I will continue to use their rentals, and continue to praise their customer service!"
"Borrowed Over $10,000 worth of equipment for a 9-day documentary shoot in New York. Spent $770 on the rental and churned out results that normally command a budget in excess of $10,000. The HDSLR revolution has begun and BorrowLenses is on the front line, providing a cheap and reliable way for ANYONE to make HD films for under $1000. I'm fortunate to live in the Bay Area where I can pick-up unlimited equipment for a fixed $15 courier fee. BorrowLenses is quite possibly the best camera/lens rental service in the world."
"Excellent...hassle-free...will rent lenses from them again. Helped me decide NOT to buy the lens I rented which saved me hundreds on a purchase I would not have been happy with. Awesome!"
"Every step of the process with BorrowLenses.com was professional, helpful and easy! The equipment came ready to go and was flawless. I will rent from them in the future."
"Amazing service! I love it! So easy to work with and they have great rates. The best part I like about it is that they don't charge you a deposit. I tried renting a lens locally in Las Vegas and they wanted to put a hold on my credit card for three days. They essentially wanted to charge me for the lens. I rented about $10,000 worth of equipment from BorrowLenses with no problems. I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I don't have a credit card with a $10,000 limit, let alone it all being open and available for a security deposit. Thanks borrowLenses. Look forward to renting again"
"I borrowed a zoom lens and a 50mm fixed lens for a trip to China and Tibet. They were fabulous. How terrific to test out lenses before you buy them, or rent them for a special occasion!! I'm thrilled. Everything worked like a charm. Think I'll make a habit of it! - Susan "
