"This the first time using Camera Lens Rentals, in fact the first time ever renting any kind of camera equipment. The equipment arrived a day early, come packaged well, and with a return shipping label. All I have to do is put the gear back in the same box, slap on the label and Call FedEx to ship back. The lens came to me in great shape. In fact, it looked brand new.
Camera Lens Rentals e-mailed me confirmation of the order, date shipped, and confirmation of return. I DEFINITELY have and will be recommending Camera Lens Rentals to everyone I know! My rental went flawlessly and all the emails and contact I had with CLR was very friendly, quick, and helpful. They care about their customers and are extremely friendly and professional. Plus, rentals are very cheap, I researched many of rental companys, and found them to be the best at what they do! I will DEFINITELY be doing business with them again, and I am completely unsure why their customer testimonials are not 100% positive. They Are the BEST!"
"This company is upstanding! I was in desperate need for a canon 40D w/lens because mine was stolen 2 weeks before I was scheduled to shoot a wedding. I never rented equipment before and was worried about the timeliness of shipping and if I would be charged hidden costs. Nope! it came right on time as promised, saved the shoot and had no hidden costs! The camera and lens were in perfect condition.I will now use them for all my photography needs as they have proven themselves to be reputable."
"I have been using Camera Lens Rentals now for almost a year. I have rented a number of lenses and one camera body. The equipment always arrives a day early, comes packaged well, and arrives with a return shipping label. All I have to do is put the gear back in the same box, slap on the label and take it to FedEx. The lenses have always been in great shape. In fact, they have all looked brand new.
Camera Lens Rentals always sends me confirmation of the order, date shipped, and confirmation of return. I will keep using them until I buy all the gear I need. They have been very professional.

"I read a recommendation for CLR on pentaxforums.com and booked a Pentax DA*60-250 zoom lens for an airshow. I'm very impressed with the lens condition and packaging, the Pelican case should protect against everything. With the lens a lens case is included, surely a wise decision on CLR's part.
I plan to rent specialty lenses and a couple I'm thinking of purchasing myself to see whether they're worthwhile and to expand my skills. I wholeheartedly recommend CLR for lens rentals."
"i am so impressed with the service and quality of camera and lens I rented from Camera Lens Rental. Dealing with professional photographers so they can and do answer any questions that you might have concerning the rental. Will definitely rent from them again. Thank you. "
"Camera Lens Rental handled my last minute rental flawlessly. The camera body, vertical grip, and flash arrived early than promised (after I was called to confirm the dates I needed the equipment so that I would have it on time, but with the lowest possible shipping rates), in great condition. The equipment worked flawlessly for the weekend, and were a breeze to return. "
"I will DEFINITELY be recommending Camera Lens Rentals to everyone I know! My rental went flawlessly (aside from some issues on Fedex's part that were in no way CLR's fault), and all the emails and contact I had with CLR was very friendly, quick, and helpful. My boyfriend used his credit card to rent the lens for me, and they even called him to make sure it was okay to rent to someone whose name wasn't on the card! They definitely care about their customers and are extremely friendly and professional. Plus, rentals are very cheap, and it's the only rental service I've found that carries Pentax equipment! I will DEFINITELY be doing business with them again, and I am completely unsurprised that 100% of their customer testimonials are positive; I'm just adding to the pile, I guess!"
"Great Company. Everything came fast and well packed. The prices were better than the local shops charge. I ordered several Pentax items– they’re one of the few people that carry Pentax. Also, they threw in an extra Pocket Wizard in on my order. I’d definitely order from them again."
"Barry was great - he came through in a pinch when FedEx made a mistake. Great company to work with - will continue to use Camera Lens Rentals again in the future."
"I rented a Canon 5DMkII from CLR, and I was extremely pleased with the entire process. I was very hesitant at first since I had never rented anything before, but I had to rent a camera to shoot a friend's wedding. The price was great, and they made everything else so easy. The equipment was in perfect condition (actually practically brand new, I was scared to touch it). I will definitely look to CLR for any future rental needs. Thank you CLR!!!"
"This was a great company to do business with. They even let us keep it a couple extra days because of shipping timing. Barry promptly answered any questions I had (as my first rental, I had several) and was definitely good to deal with. I highly recommend cameralensrentals.com!!!"
"Good: I'm very happy with the rental. It was a Canon EF 16-35mm L 2.8 Mk.II lens. Very clean and pristine. Worked great on my assignment. The delivery was right on time, and I was glad that happen, I had less than 24hrs. to find another lens if this product had not arrived on time, so I am pleased.
Bad: The one thing I really dislike is the awful smoke smell. I am not sure if this comes from the rental or from the last guy(s) that rented the lens, but the pouch it came inside was just too disgusting of cigarette stench. If there are any other photographers reading this review, please if you rent a lens, do not make it stink.
Other than that a good experience. I will rent from them in the future, just that I would put a note on no smelly rentals."
"This is was my first order with Camera Lens Rentals. First of all they rent Pentax Lenses, it is not something you come across every day. I received the Tamron 70-200 2.8 just in time for a photoshoot of a function. The shipping was very quick and packaging was great. Return label and everything was order. Theie communication is top notch and order processing is impeccable.
Would rent more lenses again with them. And I Would recommend this to every one who is looking to rent Pentax mount glasses. "
"A very enjoyable experience. Very friendly and prompt customer service. The lens arrived and described, in perfect condition. Thank You. Would definately rent from again, and YES they have Pentax lenses. woohoo"
"I had just purchased a used Nikon D300 upgrading from a D200. I had been saving for a Nikon 70-200MM f2.8 VR lens. I got a great deal on the camera and had to move fast before it was gone. This presented a problem because I live in Boston Ma, and the city was hosting the Tail Ships July 8-12th. I tried to rent a lens here in Boston, and all I got was grief from the local company that could provide this. They wanted insurence plus put a 2000 hold on my credit card. I had heard about Camera Lens Rental in a blog and tried them. They rented me the lens, plus shipping and insurance for two weeks for what it would have cost me in Boston for a 5 day rental. I will be renting all my lens from them. Great product, custom service...they are the best. I will be telling all my friends about them..."
