"Excellent products and service. A pleasure to do business with. I will definitely rent another lens soon and highly recommend this company to anyone looking to rent top-notch photography equipment. "
"I was blown away by the outstanding customer service and the quality of the equipment I rented. I will be a regular customer of Camera Lens Rentals!!!"
"Put 100% trust in this company and its service. When you rent a lens it will be there when you need it and it will work like you need it to. Everything is clear and precise in the directions, the return shipping label is included with instructions. Everything is always packed very well. Any time I need a lens, there is no question who I will use, Camera Lens Rentals. Thanks for your great service!"
"Excellent service and high-quality product. Will do business with you again!"
"The experience was very good. I placed the order online. Shortly thereafter, they confirmed availability and acceptance of my order. Lenses arrived on a Thursday just like they said they would. My official rental period (I chose 10 days) didn't start until the Friday. I like that.
Equipment was in good shape, delivery to/fro went off without a hitch and Barry responded to an email question very promptly. Also good communication regarding reminders and even return delivery and condition.
I'd definitely use them again and recommend to others.

"I had originally written a review for Camera Lens Rentals back in March of 2009 and it never went through. I guess I messed something up on my end. And since I normally don't right reviews I have not been back since and when I did come back to write another review I found my old one still there. I am going to leaving it attached because it is so accurate to their dedication to customer service even now, 3 years later. They provide great products and fast service and tremendous customer service.
Their equipment is like-new and in working order. You will not be disapointed if you chose them.
Here is my review from 2009:
I normally do not write reviews, but my experience with Camera Lens Rental was out of this world and I had to let others know.
I had never rented a lens before, much less online. After doing quite a bit of research on all the rental companies, I decided to go with CLR. I rented a Telephoto lens to use for taking pictures of the Space Shuttle launch on Feb 19. Unfortunately, the launch was postponed after I had received my rental. It got postponed a couple of times and I was faced with having to keep the lens longer than I had originally requested. CLR worked with me to accommodate my needs without hesitation. They even let me keep it two extra days (without charge) until I could see what NASA was going to do. Ultimately, NASA postponed it until March, so I sent the lens back. I re-rented the lens again and finally got to take my pictures. They came out great!!
CLR definitely believes that the customer comes first. They had no obligation to allow me to keep the lens an extra two days, much less for free, to wait and see what NASA did. It totally blew me away. This company definitely believes in satisfying the customer!
I should also mention that their equipment is in like-new condition and works perfectly. I have already used them twice and plan on continuing to use them. I highly recommend using them, you will not be disappointed.
Sincerely,
Marcel"
"The lens I receive was in excellent condition. Their rental prices are among the best. Their customer service is excellent. Any questions I emailed were answered promptly. "
"Had a great experience with this company. Lens was amazing! This is were I will rent from anytime I need a rented lens! Have also told some friends about this site!"
"Barry is a great guy and I would buy/rent from him again in a heartbeat. He and I have been in touch several times regarding the 5D Mark II and he notified me promptly when he had one available for purchase. I paid the difference for overnight shipping and it was delivered last Friday. I can't be happier with my experience. Thank you Barry!"
"By far the most trusted camera rental resource period. Barry has the most clean,well maintained camera equipment. I needed a 100-400 canon lens 1 week before a shoot for Suzuki AMA Pro Superbike Challenge and barry told me he didnt have one available. One hour later from that conversation he told me that he purchased a couple of them and was gonna do whatever he can to make sure that as soon as he recieved them he'll have one shipped out directly to me. I was speechless,cause that by far to this day is The Most Outstanding Customer Service i have ever had PERIOD..
A++ to do business with. Thanks Barry"
"Absolutely wonderful experience renting lenses through this company. Received immediate confirmation of order and shipping has always been on time. The selection of lenses is outstanding and the prices are also hard to beat (I looked extensively!). Communication is outstanding as they have always called or emailed with confirmation of the order and shipping, etc. I plan on using this company again in the near future."
"Rented an 80-400mm lens for an African safari. It worked better than I had dared to hope.
Price was the best I could find online. Service was great. After ordering, I got an immediate confirmation email along with a warning that signature was required on delivery. I replied to the email and they changed delivery to my work address. Got the lens on time, in excellent condition. Return was easy -- just put it back in the box and applied the return sticker, then dropped it off at the nearest Fed Ex/Kinkos. They even sent me a reminder email the day before it was due and a confirmation email after they received it.
I plan to use Camera Lens Rentals again the next time I have a need for an expensive zoom lens."
