"Ilene and Barry were excellent. When I had asked for a particular lens for a wedding coming that weekend they didn't have it in stock at the time I had emailed inquiring about it. Barry personally called me to let me know that one had come in four days early and that I was able to reserve it.
Helped me to get some excellent shots during the wedding!
Thanks Barry and Ilene!!"

"I discovered this company thanks to a forum posting in one of the photography forus I frequent. As a Pentax user, I was impressed with the large amount of quality Pentax lenses they had available for rent and decided to give them a shot. Not only do they have a large selection of Pentax lenses, they also have a large variety of Canon and Nikon equipment too.

What a pleasant experience this was. Not only are their prices extremely reasonable (other sites I checked out charge 3-4 times more for a mediocre selection of product), their shipping rate is very fair considering how well things are shipped and how fast they get to you.

The two lenses I rented came in a black Pelican case, the case itself in excellent condition, and the Pelican case itself was inside a large cardboard box packed with rolls of bubble wrap. Instructions were very clear as to how to repack and get the items shipped back to them, and a preprinted shipping label was included for ease of shipping. All I had to do was repack, tape up the box, and drop it off at a FedEx Kinkos.

As to the lenses, they were in mint condition and worked flawlessly. Thanks to them I was able to test very expensive lenses for a whole week, both in controlled situations as well as at a gig I had lined up, without having to commit to spending nearly $2000 at a local store.

Ilene was my rep and she was excellent at communicating with me, making sure my order was properly placed and would arrive when needed.

Needless to say I am renting again from them and have already made my reservation/order for next month.

Highly recommended!"

"Wow, where can I start. This was my first time renting camera equipment, so I was a little skeptical. After researching other companies I decided to go with CLR after reading all the positive reviews and speaking with Ilene. My experience was the best. I got the equipment when I was suppose to and it was in EXCELLENT condition. I even received a call from Ilene a hour after the equipment had arrived to make sure everything was okay with the order. The days of great customer service are long gone, so when I received the service that I got from CLR and Ilene, it made me smile. I will be renting with Camera Lens Rentals again. Thanks so much.
"

"I found this to be an easy process both to place the order and to ship the lens back. The instructions provided make it easy to deal with. Next time I need or want to try out a different lens I will return.
"

"Barry impressed me! With a mixup from the delivery service and them not wanting to budge on their standards, Barry came through big time! Berry went far over and above I would have expected the best customer service rep would have. The delivery service could not get my package to me before my trip, so Barry had another one shipped to my desitination. I ended up recieving both, but turned one back that day. My hats off the Barry.

Thanks
John"

"Excellent service, prompt, detail-oriented, friendly and efficient. Highly recommend."

"After our first experienc with cameralensrentals.com, we are repeat customers. Ilene is very helpful and the communication is great. We have rented two different lenses twice and both times they were in mint condition both cosmetically and functionally. We will be back and highly recommend them!"

"I recently rented a Pentax 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 DA fish eye lens from camera rentals, when I first try to rent this lens is was out on the day I wanted to rent it but I received a phone call from ilene saying that I could have a brand new lens that they would add to their inventory on the date I wanted it. I can't give then enough praise, it was all so simple and I am extremely satisfied with this company. Once again thank you. Paul Allen."

"I recently rented a lens and flash from Camera Lens Rentals and it was a great experience. Barry, from Camera Lens Rentals was very helpful. Everything arrived right on time and it was all very well packed. The lens came with a UV filter, hood and even a carrying case. I hightly recommend this store for renting camera equipement!!! SW"

"I highly recommend this company... especially if you own a Pentax camera and would like to try out a lens before you shell out hundreds of dollars. I rented a 12-24mm wide angle lens for my Pentax K10D and was very impressed with the service.

The prices were reasonable, the communication was excellent and I was very impressed with the ease of the transaction. They shipped the lens to me in a Pelican case, with a UV filter and all the necessary return paperwork to ship it back when my rental period expired.

I had no complaints with the service and will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks!"

"Nothing but GREAT things to say about Barry and the Camera Lens Rental site. Lens was delayed back C.L.R. before I was to ge it....Barry got it to me the day I needed it. I will be using the C.L.R. again...and tell people about it all the time at my job."

"I rented a Pentax 18-250mm telephoto lens for my K10D. This was one of the very few sites online that offer Pentax lenses. Communication was very fast and thorough with Camera Lens Rental and I even put a reservation in for my lens.
The process was pretty painless and shipping prices are reasonable. Overall, I have no complaints at all and will likely rent more lenses from them."

"I rented a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens from here. The package came on time and was delivered in a very sturdy package. The lens itself was shipped in a pelican briefcase and came with a filter and hood lens. The lens was of great quality and worked perfectly on my Canon 5D. I was also kept up to date of the status of the lens during shipping. Would order from here again! Thanks again Barry!!"

"Wonderful rental experience! I rented the Canon 10-22 MM f 3.5-4.5 EF-S lens in the first week of June. Iileen and Barry were absolutly wonderful to work with. Customer service was very personable. They go above and beyond to make sure your rental is a successful one. Packaging was wonderful. They make it very easy to safely repack and return. I had a wonderful experience will rent from them again."

"I was very impressed with the personal customer service provided by Barry at Camera Lens Rentals. Their prices are so much lower than comparable services for the same product and the opportunity to use a lens I can't afford is invaluable- especially at a rate that I can afford by renting. I will be using Camera Lens Rentals again! Thanks Barry."
