"I originally ordered a Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8 G ED, but unfortunately they were out of stock. After reading the write up on the shop website I opted for an Nikon AF 85mm f/1.4 D IF. This was a superb lens and I was so impressed with the results that I've reordered it for use at a wedding in 2 weeks.
Lenses for Hire were as impressive as the lens. I'm lucky enough to live close by and can pick up my lenses direct from them. The communication from them was first rate and prompt. The people I spoke to or met all seemed to know what they were talking about which is a definite plus point. As mentioned above I've already booked to use them again and will continue to do so.
Thanks team (Stewart, Dan & Sharlene)and keep up the good work."
"Hired a NIkon 80 - 200 F2,8 to use at a wedding.
The whole experience was excellent and I will definately be using Lenses for Hire again. It was competitvely priced. The lens was in excellent condition and came securely packaged with exceptional communication throughout - I even got a phone call with an update on delivery arrangements. Really good personal service. Cant recommend enough."
"I hired a Sigma EX GD APO 120-300mm and a Canon 1.4x Extender for the Farnborough Airshow. The advice offered on the telephone was excellent, delivery on time and packaging for the lenses excellent. The lenses were in excellent condition, I couldn't have asked for better. Highly recommended."
"Excellent service, good prices and advise you on best deal, no problem extending hire - recommended"
"I hired a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM lens for motorsports photography. This was my first experience hiring lenses and it couldn‘t have been better. Communication was great, I was kept updated as to when the lens was despatched. The lens arrived on time and in a very sturdy padlocked case. Instructions about lens hire and the lens operation were included too. The lens itself came with a UV filter attached and hood. The lens and filter were perfectly clean allowing me to attached it to my camera immediately and get testing. I’d had arranged for collection when I hired the lens, so a quick phone call to the delivery company on the Monday morning after the event and it was collected the same day.
I’d recommend this service to anyone, it’s a great way to try different lenses, gain experience and opens up photographic opportunities I wouldn’t normally have with my standard kit lens.

"I hired a Nikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR specifically for the Farnborough Air Show 2010, and was very pleased with the service I had from LensesForHire. I collected the lenses in person on the Friday and the lovely guy gave me some tips on where to get some batteries for my Nikon D80 (I had forgotten to bring my batteries which was unforgivable!). It comes in a very good cardboard box and extremely well packed with protective foam inside. The nicest thing I noticed was that the lenses were absolutely clean and spotless (no fingerprints, scratches or the like) and that is a first class service. I like to open, mount it to my camera take snaps, without having to clean the lenses with my cleaning brushes, etc. The UV filter was fitted (same make as I use on mine!). It is a brilliant lens as I got some absolutely great pictures of airplanes at 300mm zoom! I strongly recommend anyone hiring as it's cheaper to "try it out" before considering buying it. You will NOT be disappointed."
"I hired a Canon 100-400mm lens specifically for the Farnborough Air Show, and was very pleased with the service I had from LFH. The hire period started on a Tuesday, and the lens was supposed to arrive the day before, but I got a phone call from LFH on the Monday to say that the lens had not been returned when it should have, and would I mind if it came on Tuesday instead. They offered a pre-9.30 delivery. It arrived in a very strong case, and was complete in all respects - two caps, UV filter, lens hood, and case. A great lens, and very easy to use. I think that hiring is the ideal way to try out a lens that you may be thinking of buying, and I cannot fault LFH."
"Excellent and professional service. My lens was a touch late being returned by a previous customer, so LFH sent my lens overnight for a pre-9am delivery at their expense. Process for ordering and delivery was excellent with very sturdy packaging and return label included. Lens was clearly well-used but performed flawlessly (see some sample pics on LFH web site. Overall, a very well thought out and professional service. I'm planning more photo events that I wouldn't normally have considered, due to my LFH experience. Instead of waiting to be able to afford a pro-quality lens, I can just rent it for big events. "
"IO hired an Canon 18-200mm IS for a city break to berlin and the service from start to finish was excellent. I di recieve and error message when booking the lenses on a Friday evening, however a quick email to them was promptly reply to and the order was confirmed on the Monday. the lense arrived early the day before the hire commenced so I got a free day's hire. Post the lenes back could not of been simplier. place in bag, slap on sticker and take to post office. I would recommend this service to anyone."
"This the third time I have hired a lens from this company. Very efficient. Lens arrives when it is supposed to, helpful staff on the end of a phone if needed and the paperwork is kept to a minimum."
"Great Service. Easy team of people to deal with, quick responses, good range and quality of products. The perfect way to 'try before you buy'."
"I am a professional photographer (www.confettistudio.com) trying to hire the 17-40mm L lens for one of my job. Lenses for hire's delivery is spot on, arrived 12pm the day before and I only needed to send the lens back the day after the hire period. Price of the hire is very resonable and the condition of the lense is very good as well. I would recommend their service without any hesitation."
"I rented a Nikon AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 D ED VR for the Fairford and Farnborough air shows. The LFH service was excellent and the lens arrived when they said it would. The lens itself was well packaged in great condition and I would have no hesitation in using them again."
"Outstanding in every way, helpful staff who keep you informed at every stage, very good range of lenses, easy to check availability of any lens at any time. Prices are also very competitive. Would recommend LensesForHire to anyone and will most definitely use them again."
"Excellent service, first time I had used them. The lens was fantastic, Canon 35mm F1.4, going to arrange to hire it again in the near future"
