"I took a chance on Camera Lens Rentals.com after finding them on the internet. They have a great selection, and the rental prices beat what I can do locally.
The lens, an AF-S Nikkor 18-55 F2.8, arrived on the expected date--important because I was travelling with or without it. The lens was beautiful, and included a bag, an IR filter, caps, a Pelican case, and even a return ship label. Very nice. The only other thing that might have been helpful is a lens hood to deter sunspots.
I used the lens for my wedding and subsequent honeymoon--I shot over 2,500 images and came away with some great stuff. I look forward to working with Camera Lens Rentals (.com) again in the future."
"This company is awesome. I took Easter pics and Birthday pics. They turned out awesome. Now I am begging my husband for the lens. Will rent again! Spring Lake, NC"
"I would DEFINITELY rent from camera lens rentals again and have even given their website out to friends. I take pictures for the publicity committee at my childrens' school and they wanted me to get a "rainbow" picture of the ENTIRE school (over 400 students/staff), so I needed a wide angle lens. I put in the request on a Monday and needed the lens for Wednesday. Barry had a couple of questions for me before he could ship, but I hadn't checked my email so someone actually called me and asked me to go on my email!!!! Barry was so helpful and nice. I can't wait to rent again!!!!!"
"This was my first time renting camera lenses, and I was very pleased with the service. I liked scheduling it in advance (for a wedding) so that I didn't have to worry about whether or not they would be in stock. The lenses arrived promptly and very securely packaged in a pelican case. They were clean and spotless! The wedding went great and I am pleased with my photos. It was very simple to package everything back up in the box, re-tape and use their label. I will definitely use this service for my next big gig!"
"Great service. Lens showed up a day early. Lens was in good shape and performed as needed. Will use CLR again!"
"I have used Camera Lens Rental many times in the past year and I can only say god things. Their products are always in perfect condition. They have the best customer service as well! I recommend them to my fellow photographers any chance I get. "
"I rented a lense to take pictures on vacation at Seaworld. I loved the lense so much that I wanted to keep it a couple extra days to photograph supercross. They were very willing to work with me on keeping a couple extra days. And very very cost affordable. I will definately do business again, as well as, let my friends know about them. The price is unbeatable as far as I'm concerned."
"I highly recommend using this company. They treated me very well with my transaction.
My questions were answered quickly and professionally. Shipping was right on the day they told me the lens would be here.
I will definitely use this company for my rental needs. A+++

"I just want to give credit where credit is due.. This was my second time renting from Camera Lens Rentals. My first time went just as planned. I anticipated the date, time, lens needed, etc. I placed my order, got my lens, and had a blast shooting with it. My second time renting was quite different with regards to my end of the transaction. I accepted a wedding client on very short notice. When I went to find the lens that I was looking for they were all "out of stock".. Frantic, I called Barry at "CLR" to see what we could do. Barry put all of my worries at ease.. He calmly told me that he would have a lens on my door step the day before my event no matter what he had to do to get it there. Guess what! As usual, Camera Lens Rentals delivered! It seems, from talking to Barry on the phone for five minutes, that this was probably "just another day at the office" for him. I don't think that he went home and bragged to his wife about how he saved the day for some Photographer in FL, or was out throwing high fives with any of his buddies. I think that this is just a great business that remembers the good ol' days of personal interest and customer service. Thanks to the people at Camera Lens Rentals I will never have to shop around for another place to rent from.

"The rental experience was excellent. The ordering was easy. The equipment arrived on time and was in perfect working order. The return process was also very easy and I received a confirmation from camera Lens Rentals when they received the returned equipment. I will certainly use them for my future rental needs."
"From start o to finish the process was without question very orderly and professional. I would even say more so due to the consistent email contact the they provide. Always seemed like they were available at any moment for assistance. Everything was more than well packed. Was able to try out a lens for awhile w/o having to purchase it. Thanks for that thing you do!"
"Very satisfied with this company. Ordered last-minute, and the lenses were on time and in immaculate shape. Great prices for someone who can't afford to buy. A+ customer service. Will definitely use again!"
"I was very skeptical about renting a lens (Nikkor 17-55mm, f/2.8) online as I have never done so before. I took a chance with Cameralensrental.com and was extremely pleased. Their customer service was top notch and walked me through the entire process.
The lens arrived as promised and was in excellent condition. It was if you just received a brand new lens. The lens performed flawlessly. The picture quality was worth the risk.
I would rent from them again without a second thought. I am not one who usually submits reviews but felt I had to as my experience was very pleasing.
Great to service to use to experiment with new lenses or to use a high quality lens for a trip or other major event that you want the best glass for."
"great service, and shipping... worked with me to ensure i got lens on date needed. Great product, great service"
"This was my second time renting from this company, and it went just as smooth as the first. It started with an email asking if they would be renting out the K-5 after it was announced. Soon after, I got an email from Barry saying they ordered some. Within days, they followed up, saying it was available to rent. Thanks to them, I was able to try out this amazing camera so soon after its initial release in the market. I'm now saving up my pennies to eventually buy my very own copy. Camera Lens Rentals is a great option to try before you buy! Thanks again! We'll do business again when the next big thing arrives in market."
