"We rented a Cannon 100/400 lens for our recent cruise to Alaska. I am not the camera guy in the family, but my wife was thrilled with the shots she was able to get from the bow of the ship and our balcony. The 400 portion of the lens was so much better than the 250 that we own - she never even got that lens out of the bag. My comparisons across the internet brought us to Camera Lens Rentals based on pricing and availability."
"I found Camera Lens Rentals through a Google search (shouts out to Google) and the whole experience was great. I even needed to lens longer than I anticipated and they pro-rated the charges and gave me the 10-day rate instead of the 4-day rate. Fast shipping, great customer service. I will continue to use them as long as I need to rent lens!"
"This was my first time renting with Camera Lens Rentals, and it will NOT be my last! Very friendly and knowledgeable customer service, GREAT prices, shipped on time, and could not have asked for better equipment! Thank You Camera Lens Rentals for the great experience! I have told my friends and will continue to recommend Camera Lens Rentals! "
"This is a wonderful service for photographers at any level. It allowed me to economically shoot with two lens that I had been wanting to try without breaking the bank. I received my order ahead of schedule and in excellent condition. The entire order and return process couldn’t be any easier. I cant wait to experiment with a different lens in the future….I will be back!!! Thanks!

"These guys are great! I have never rented lenses online before and needed a couple in a pinch. I researched pricing and found these guys to be not only some of the most reasonable but also had great reviews. My lenses arrived well before the rental period began and were in immaculate condition. No problems with them whatsoever.
I will definitely use Camera Lens Rentals again... the customer service is excellent. They called me to let me know that the lenses were in transit and also called to remind me to ship them back on the return date. Being a business owner, it is always nice to get a reminder, especially from a real person and not just an email or automated phone call. Very helpful.
Thanks!"
"Rented an ultra wide pentax (12-24mm) for a 2 week trip to Hawaii. Cost was a fraction of purchasing the actual lens, and I was able to rent a polarizing filter for a fairly reasonable amount as well. Delivery arrived on time, securely packaged with clear instructions on how and when to return the product (which was also communicated through emails).
Overall a great service for trying out an expensive piece of glass before buying, or for a single event where a specific lens is desired."
"CLR is a great company! I've used them on several occasions and have been impressed each time. They are very workable and much more economical compared to all the other online rental companies that I've checked out. I would definitely HIGHLY recommend them."
"This was my first time to rent a camera lens, and the whole process was so easy and great. I got my lens on the scheduled date, and it was in great condition. I had fun shooting with it for 7 days, then I followed the easy instructions for shipping it back. So easy and so fun! A great way to try out different lenses without having to buy them. I will definitely rent from cameralensrentals.com again."
"I always go to CLR for my rental needs. They ship fast, friendly, and most importantly inexpensive. I've always been very satisfied with them and recommend them to all my camera buddies."
"This was a very positive experience from beginning to end. I was sure that renting high-end camera gear would have to be a very controlled process. Indeed it was with every step of the way clearly spelled out both on their web site and in the documents that were included with the lenses. There were no questions about when the rental started/ended or their expectations of the customer when it came to shipping the lenses back. In fact, they do a good job of initiating contact throughout the process, not just responding.
Also worth mentioning is the ease with which I extended my rental period. One phone call (a *person* answered!) was all it took and the rental period was extended.
Will I rent from them again? Yes. Once I get done processing the 1000 or so images I got with the first rental. :-)
Oh, and one more thing: what a great way to try different glass before spending ~$1000 (or more) on a lens!"
"These guys 'get' customer service, I've rented 3 times from them so far and every single time they have exceeded expectations for quality, timeliness and overall service.
And they are amazingly responsive to email queries as well."
"Great Experience, would rent from these guys again!"
"Great company. Lens came as described in very efficent packaging. Very personable "ma and pa" customer service. I altered my order last minute with no hassles whatsoever. Will definetly rent again. Thanks for carrying Pentax!!

"Was nervous about renting a lens online but Camera Lens Rental made it easy. Rented a 70-200mm lens for a job shooting the Sasquatch Music Festival and everything arrived on time and in great shape with packaging that was a breeze to ship back later. Photos turned out great and I'll definitely rent from them again."
"The only place I know that has lenses for pentax cameras. Service is excellent and the process to receive and return is very easy. Highly recommended"
