"I have rented from CLR four times this year and every time the lenses come on time and in great shape. You'll get a good value from this provider in comparison to others.

"I was in a pinch for a very specific lens. I emailed a question after 8 pm CST, and they emailed me back! Arranged for me to receive the lens on a Saturday (thanks, Ilene!), and it was everything I had hoped for. Pristine packing, clear directions for use and return. Excellent value and superb customer service!"
"I have been renting from CLR for about a year now. And everytime things have went really smooth even when I have needed to make changes to my order. Lens and camera body came in perfect shape and both worked flawlessly. I will continue going back and rental items from them.
Thank you Camera Lens Rentals for offering this service.

"Fast and reliable as always. I recommend them often, especially to other Pentax users."
"Great and friendly service!! The lens arrived in perfect working order and I never had a problem with it the entire weekend!! I recommend them very highly!! "
"Excellent selection of Lenses. The lens I rented was in excellent condition and tack sharp. Customer service was great and they were very flexible when I needed to extend my rental period...twice! I will definitely use Camera Lens Rentals again and recommend you do too."
"Once again, flawless execution from Barry & co. @ cameralensrentals. I received the lens (Canon 70-200 f2.8L) ~a day early. Everything was in the box and as clean as new! I ended up keeping it for the duration even though a second event I'd planned to shoot never happened. This is such a sweet lens I just had to go out and shoot whatever I could find. The website is pretty simple and there are no hidden charges, and they'll bend over backwards to get clients what they need when they need it! I'll be back to CLR soon!

"Customer service was above and beyond. I don't have the name of the extremely helpful lady at CameraLensRental.com but she really went out of her way to assist me. I called on a Friday afternoon having found out I had a shoot on the Monday which I didn't have an appropriate lens for. I called in late and unfortunately UPS had already picked up their shipments. While I was hunting online for an alternative service she called me back within 10 -15 mins and she had arranged for UPS to come back to get the lens out to me that night for delivery on Monday - this is genuine customer serice. Needless to say the lens was exactly what I needed, was in great condition and in full working order - she basically saved my bacon! - will definitely use them again and would HIGHLY recommend them."
"My first experience with Camera Lens Rentals was AWESOME! Best customer service EVER top of that great quality of product + Fast shipping..Highly recommended and looking forward to rent more in future! Thank you Camera Lens Rentals!!!!!"
"Lens arrived on time in perfect condition. I will rent from them again."
"This was my first experience with Camera Lens Rentals and everything went great. The lens arrived well packed and in great condition with clear instructions about returning. The damage waiver offers nice piece of mind and is reasonably priced. It's also nice not to have to leave a $1000+ deposit for the rental.
I would definitely rent again."
"This was my second time renting with CLR, I ordered a 50mm f/1.4 lens for my pentax. It arrived on time, just as they said it when. When I snapped the lens on the camera I could not get it to work, the camera just flashed as if no lens was attached. A quick call to Barry at CLR and he gave me some tips to try to correct this. When none worked he agreed immediately to overnight a new lens for me and to extend my rental period. Of course as soon as I got off the phone with him I got it working so his efforts became unnecessary, but I was truly impressed with his willingness to hep me resolve the problem. Whenever I rent a lens in the future, I will not consider going anywhere else, the service is easy to use, and the customer service is second to none. "
"WOW, I loved the service this company provided me. I just returned from a life long, self promised trip, of going to Florida to watch the Space Shuttle Launch and my equipment (Canon EOS, 80/200 MM w/ x2 converter) just wasn't enough ZOOM to get any decent pictures. I could only get as close as Space View Park, 12 miles away, which is the closest public viewing without purchasing better tickets, which I couldn't get. Long story short, they delayed the launch too many times and I had to return home, missing the launch.
BUT,...having rented a Canon 400MM Super Telephoto lens & X2 Canon converter, I believe I would have had some really good shots. With the first launch delay, I was able to go to the spot where I was going to be (hopefully, lots of people for these last launches) and snap a roll of film with different f-stops vs shutter speeds to find the right combo, get them delveloped that night and view my results. Note: download the lens manual from the manufacturers website if you've never used the lens your wanting to rent! They do not supply the manuals. Not a problem with me.
Back to my review of this company: delivery (UPS 2-day Air) was on time, packaged very securely, return UPS label was included, the price was MUCH BETTER than the other website (Borrowlens.com) that I looked at, you get a discount of 7% I believe on your first order AND, what I think is one of the best parts of the whole rental terms.....your rental period STARTS the day AFTER you receive your order! HOW COOL IS THAT?
I give this company an A+, 10 out 10, 5 stars and the highest rating of any other form or ratings you can think of! I will surely use Camerarental.com again in the future.
....if they could have only called NASA and pulled some strings....yeah right.

"This was my first experience with Camera Lens Rentals and I was totally satisfied. My daughter uses Camera Lens Rentals all the time and is very happy with the service, which is one of the reasons I chose Camera Lens Rentals for my first rental experience. I rented the Canon 100-400mm and a couple other items for Bridge Day 2010 held at the New River Gorge in Fayetteville, West Virginia. All my items arrived on time and in good shape. The ease with the return was wonderful. I would recommend Camera Lens Rentals to anyone. They have great customer service and will bend over backwards to help you. I will most definitely rent from Camera Lens Rentals in the future and highly recommend them to anyone interested in renting extra lenses or cameras. So easy and convenient, a pleasure doing business with Camera Lens Rentals. "
"Was slightly apprehensive about renting a lens online but this place has put all doubts out the window! I could not be more satisfied with my rental experience. Very fast and clear communication. There was an issue with my name and address matching and although my email with the requested info was not delivered, they still shipped the lens and I recieved it in perfect working order for my photo shoot. The shipping process was a breeze and was a very simple process. I will definitely rent from Camera Lens Rentals again! "
