"I have hired lenses from LensesForHire.co.uk several times before and this time was as faultless as ever. I hired a Canon 24mm 1.4 II for a landscape expedition. The lens arrived as promised the day before my hire period very well packaged with all documentation and return address labels. I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone.

"Another great hire from Lenses for Hire. They set very high standards and they meet them everytime. This is my second hire from them. I wanted to make sure the experience was equal before I reviewed.
I hired the lens for a weekend and the dliver was on time and the collection. The follow up service is excellent. I would recommend anyone use them, and i will be using you guys again in the very near future."
"Pre Sales excellent, all my questions answered extremely quickly.
Kept me up to date with my order and gave tracking number very quickly.
The lens arrived well packaged (the packaging was designed to be used for the return also)and in great condition.
The return could not have been easier, reuse the original packaging and provide them with a return tracking number.
Having only the day before my order dealt with possibly the worst customer service I have ever experienced on the web, dealing with Lenses for hire was an absolute delight. I will be using them again and I cannot recommend them highly enough"
"I needed to hire a wide angle lens for a special project and I found Lenses For Hire on the net.I hired a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM a superb lens in as new condition, superb delivery service well packed in re-usable packaging with clear instructions on returning the lens. All contact with the company was easy and they keep you informed of order progress and dispatch. All the staff were very helpful (and most apologetic about the delivery cost to the Isle of Wight which we are used to!).
I needed to extend the hire time due to circumstances beyond mine and my clients control and this too was an easy process though I was lucky no-one else had booked the lens or this would not have been possible for obvious reasons. I would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend their service to anyone requiring a lens for a special project or to test before buying (or adding to a wish list). I did suggest that they could slightly improve their service by adding the Cokin P and Z adapters to suite each lens diameter to their accessories list for those of us that enjoy using our own filters! I am really glad I chose to use this company and again HIGHLY recommend, and would use again.What more can I say!"
"First time hiring a lens, and very pleased with the service from Lenses for Hire. Hired a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM + 1.4 converter for use on Safari.
Staff contacts on e-mail were prompt and helpful, with suggestions on a cheaper postage option to me. Lens arrived exactly when promised, and was in pristine condition with hood and protective filter, together with clear instructions and robust reusable packaging. Great service and even better photos with a stunning lens. Heartily recommend and will use again. "
"Hired a Canon 100- 400MM L series lens .
It arrived 2 days before the start of the hire.
Really well packed with a manual for the lens and complete instructions on how to post the lens back, which was very helpful as was the reuseable packaging.
The lens was absolutely pristine(looked brand new).
All in all a very painless process from start to finish..
I will definitely be using Lenses For Hire again.
It`s got to be the best Lens Hire service in the country.. "
"This was my first time hiring from LFH and I have nothing but praises for them. All my enquiries through e-mails were attended to promptly and efficiently. The staff were polite, informative and full of humour. Delivery of the equipment was prompt and they were very well-packed. Best of all, all the packaging was re-usable for the return of the equipment and the instruction was all very clearly stated. The equipment I hired (Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G IF-ED VR and Nikon AF-S TC-20E III Teleconverter) were in very good condition and they came with the necessary accessories like filter, hood and tripod mount. I used them for our safari trip to Tanzania and they produced some pretty superb results, some of which I have posted on the Customer Gallery here. I will certainly use LFH again and I will not hesitate to recommend them to others. Their prices are also very reasonable compared to other lense rental companies. "
"I hired a Sigma 50-500mm lens from lensesforhire.co.uk for the Royal International Air Tattoo this year. The service from LFH was first class. Email communication was quick and always helpful. Will definitely be recommending them to everyone I know and using them myself again the future. Top notch service!"
"Ordered and used the Nikon AF 85mm f/1.4 D IF from LensesForHire for a couple of weeks. Timed delivery was excellent and the Lens was in perfect condition.
Very good price and service. Will use again."
"This was my first experience of ordering from LensesForHire & it proved to be a slick, professional and effective service. I would absolutely use them again. I received timely confirmation of my order, relevant updates of how my order was progressing & when it was despatched / expected to be delivered. Delivery was prompt & the equipment (Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM) was exceptionally well packed (hard case with padlock)including everything I needed to feel comfortable in using it (instuctions / hood / tripod mount / filter). The equipment also looked in exceptional condition & was a superb addition to my kit. LensesForHire were recommended to me and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others."
"This was the first time I had used LFH & I can say the level of service was superb. The lens arrived on time with full instructions, a protective lens filter & a simple returns process. The service from LFH was clear and helpfull throughout. Will definitely be using LFH again. "
"I would highly recommend LFH to anyone who is serious about photography but can not afford the cost of purchasing premium quality lenses. I am a semi professional photographer who has just started getting paid for work such as portraits, images for online media, marketing images and most recently weddings.
LFH is a professional and efficient service. lenses arrive on time, there are full instructions and packaging for the return and they are also flexible. In one instance i had a lens hired for a wedding and it came about that i needed it again a week later for another wedding and they arranged for me to keep the lens for another two weeks for less than the cost of the first weeks hire.
Its worth hiring a lens just to see the difference a £1200 lens can make to your pictures.
I definitely will keep using them until i can afford my own equipment."
"I would highly recommend this company, items alwaysy arrive on time. A good way to try a lens before you buy. I will definatly be using them again. "

"very helpful company,easy to order from and send items back.Lens i hired was in very good condidtion and great value.would recommend this company TO everyone and have."
