"I rented several lenses for a wedding this past weekend. All the lenses were in great shape and worked perfectly. Shipping was prompt, and repacking and shipping the lenses back was easy thanks to the packaging and instructions included with my rental. Once again...I am a very happy customer!"
"This was the first time I'd rented from Camera Lens Rentals and was VERY pleased! I had rented previously from a much bigger lens rental/camera company and was treated very poorly. The people at CLR were quite friendly and affable and willing to work with me to make it successful! I will DEFINITELY rent from them again and plan to spread the word to my other photographer friends!"
"This was my first experience at renting camera lenses, and I must say it was excellent. The staff was helpful and friendly, the lenses were in great condition -- not a speck of dust or fingerprint on them, as if they were brand new right out of the box. The return shipping was easy, and I had no problems whatsoever with the whole experience. I will definitely rent from this company again in the future."
"We had scheduled a vacation for the western National Parks and to cut down on overall equipment weight a profesional photographer suggested I take along just 2 lenses for the trip: an 18-200 and an 80-400mm. I have an 18-200mm but never invested in something so big as an 80-400mm Nikkor. I researched lens rental companies and found Camera Lens Rentals (CLR) - they are a friendly, effecient, and outstanding company! My rental lens looked like new but more importantly it performed flawlessly. Eagles, osprey, wolves, elk, bears, bison, and even a condor found their way into the path of the Nikon! If you are in the market to rent a lens CLR is the place - hands down they are A-OK in every way! Bill Stemen "
"Camera lens rentals is wonderful. I was having some issues with my older lens. I had a music festival to photograph. Camera Lens Rentals came through and I got a great lens. In fact, the first time I rented from them, I liked their service so much, I bought the lens."
"Since this is the only company that rents Pentax lenses I was glad to find it. The selection is good and the service excellent. I forgot something on the online order form and was called within 5 minutes to get the order complete. I'm impressed."
"Spoke to the staff, very friendly. Best prices I could find on web. Hassle free shipping both ways. The lenses were available when I needed them. Great quality lenses in very good condition, Canon 400mm F5.6 and 1.4x teleconverter. I sure will use these guys again."
"I have been trying to find somewhere that I can rent Pentax equipment, since almost everywhere only rents Canon and Nikon! Finally a friend told me about Camera Lens Rentals. I needed a fast 70-200 for a wedding and I decided to give them a try. The customer service was excellent and communication was perfect... I'll be using this service again soon!"
"I had a great experience with CLR! I was a little nervous about renting, but everything went smoothly! I rented the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS and the product was in great shape! They keep up with you every step, which made me more comfortable. I had a question and e-mailed Ilene and she was right back with me in a matter of minutes. I will definetly be coming back to CLR for my next rental!!!!"
"This is the first time I have ever rented camera lenses, so I was a little skeptical. I found Camera Lens Rentals online & went through them because of user reviews and the location. The website was very easy to use, navigate and understand. All of my questions were answered clearly. The communication with CLR was fantastic. I received prompt notices when my order was accepted, when it was being delivered, a reminder when it needed to be returned and confirmation when the lenses arrived back at CLR. There was a minor problem with my order due to the previous rental being returned late, but it was not a problem for me & I was ASKED if it was okay to receive my order a day later. It was a pleasant surprise to be asked instead of told that it was shipping late. I was offered a small discount for the inconvenience. The lenses were in perfect shape & appeared new. Everything worked just as it should. I was thrilled with the entire process & look forward to using CLR again in just a couple of weeks!"
"This is the easiest review I ever wrote. I love the condition of the lenses rented (3 so far), I enjoy communicating with the staff and find they typically give a lot and take very little. The lenses I have rented are packed great, shipped fast, and organized so I can return the package with almost no effort on my part. It's really been a great experience so far to rent before I buy. No complaints about the gear, the service or the communication. None. It's like dealing with a good friend down the street. I'll be back."
"Unbelievable service!!!
While online searching for places to rent the Canon 24-70mm lens, I found Camera Lens Rentals to be the best price. However, I did not check to see where they were located. I needed the lens in a short amount of time and just placed the order disregarding their location. Within a few hours, I received an e-mail saying that they're located within 20 minutes of my house and they'd be happy to take off the shipping fee if I would like to pick it up at their store. Unfortunately, I had to work, so I asked my grandmother to pick it up for me. She had nothing but fantastic things to say! "They are the nicest people!" and she absolutely loved that she was greeted by two small dogs when she got there. She was amazed by the customer service: "They're very genuine, polite, and kind." She called me immediately after dropping the order off and could not stop telling me how great they were.
And the equipment? Looked perfectly new, they had cleaned the lens and filter-you couldn't see a drop of dust. Everything was in great condition.
Camera Lens Rentals is THE BEST! "
"CLR is the ONLY place that i rent from. They are prompt and only deliver the best quality. I am a professional wedding photographer and CLR gets ALL of my love!

"As a first time customer I rented two lenses and the Canon 5D Mark II body, with battery grip. The service began with super fast replies to simple service questions that I had prior to placing my order. I choose to provide additional information about my business within my order and my rental was confirmed within the hour. Follow up calls from the very friendly CLR staff confirmed every part of my order. All equipment (filters, lenses, body, battery grip) arrived super clean and ready to work, professionally packed and on time. My project was finished a day early so I was able to pack up everything to be used by future renters. In the process I received a courtesy email reminder, reminding me that my rental period had one more day left. Return shipment was super easy with the provided packaging material. Overall the entire working experience with CLR was professional, friendly, fast, reliable, trustworthy and a great service from a provider that I highly recommend and will use again. "
"This was my second time to rent from you and I just want to say thanks very much for a great service and ease of renting from your company. I will be back again and I hope more people know about your company. The lens performed great, it arrived on time, was clean and in perfect condition. Thanks a million!"
