"Well, what can I say?
When I first heard of these guys I thought, too good to be true, well they are not, they really are the best company I have ever delat with.
Good prices, no deposit, fair tearms, first rate response to inquires.
Its important to for you to just give these guys a try, they offer the chance to use gear that you would not ever dream of using. Through them, I am able to try different types of photography, I told myself for years that there was no difference between a Nikon costing 1400 and a sigma costing 230, well now I know and I am a better photgrapher for it.
Yes this is a real review, if you do not believe me ask the guys for my email address and I will tell you. Try them you will love it, these guys rock

"This was the 1st time I have hired a lens, and was neccessary due to a lens size restriction on an assignment. LFH were recommended by a number of people so I went for it.
I was pleased that the ordering process was simple and painless and prices were reasonable. I expecially liked the many options for delivery and return.
The lens (Canon 300 f/4) arrived the day before the hire period began and was in perfect condition.
I will definitely use this company for future lens hire and would not hesitate to recommend to others. That said, I was so pleased with the lens' performance that I may just buy one!!"
"This was the first time I had hired a lens but I'm sure it won't be the last. Lens arrived in excellent condition, well packed. All communications with Lenses for Hire were very helpful and courteous. One downside - now I have tried the lens I hired I now know I NEED it!"
"First time renting a lens and I extremely happy with the overall service. Lens for Hire were very helpfull and got the rental to me early the day before my rental started. the lens was securely packaged and everything you needed was included in the box.
I will be definitely using them in all my future rentals!"
"Fantastic service, lens arrived day before hire date started. Efficient, easy, friendly service and lens was in excellent condition. Will definitely use again. Highly Recommend!!"
"LensesForHire was a great finding. I found them googling for this type of service and the whole experience was just 100%. People who deal with you are straight forward, and the whole work flow: (rent-get it delivered-return lens) just works.
It's great having these guys offering this type of service (ver effective and inexpensive), the motivation behind my order had to do with a test drive I wanted to do with a lens, which I'm currently looking forward to buy.
Good lenses are expensive and having the chance to play with it before you spend a whole bundle of money is the way to go (IMHO).
I strongly recommend their service to whoever like me is taking photos for fun and doesn't want to jump straight into buying something before testing it. Professionals might have a larger budget and might think this is not needed, but if you are on the other end of the scale, where each penny matters, you will probably be better off playing with the lens before spending a lot on it and eventually not being what you expected.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!

"Lens was perfect, looked brand new. Service was first class. Will definately be using this company again."
"What an excellent service for photographers. They could not have been more helpful with really good advice. It really helped make our late Spring break a lot of fun hiring a good lense to shoot birds the right way. I would recommend with no hesitation."
"I had never thought of hiring a lens before, But I saw an article on a photo forum, which got me thinking about trying out a Canon 300mm f2.8 lens.
The service was excellent and arrived on time.
I would recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about hiring a lens.
In future I will have no qualms in hiring other lenses."
"A fabulous service. Extremely helpful over the phone, emails answered promptly. A refreshing willingness to work with the customer - I needed a hire period that wasnt on the web site - one phone call and 15minutes later the website hire options were updated!
The lens arrived on time, well packaged and with a high quality UV/Skylight filter attached which is a nice touch.
A company I have no hesitation in recommending and will use again."
"When my Canon 100-400L became faulty just before a 2 week birding trip to Spain, I turned to Lenses for Hire after finding them on the Canon POTN forum. Nothing was a problem for them and Stuart sorted me out in double quick time and I was able to hire the lens for 3 weeks till mine was returned from the repair shop. The lens I had on hire was probably the best copy of this lens I have ever used, sharp as a tack at all focal lengths and apertures. Just as well, as after climbing a mountain to photograph a Bonelli's Eagle I could rely on this lens to give me the shots I wanted. Would I use Lenses for Hire again? - Without a doubt. A totally professional company that cares about its customers.

"As before I received first class service from lenses for hire, with the equipment in top condition and sent to me securly and quickly.
I have recommended this company to many other photographers, and will be returning to use them again in the future."
"Ive already recommended these guys to some friends who have already hired lenses from them. They offer an excellent service, the lens I ordered arrived early the day before my hire period was due to start in an impressive protective case with a copy of the canon instruction manual and lens hood and came fitted with a protective filter.
Unfortunately the lens was faulty but a quick phone call and they sorted me out with a replacement lens in no time and tacked on the days I'd lost out to the end of my hire period. I really cant rate them highly enough, the service is fast and friendly and they really go all out to help you. As I already said I have no problem recommending them to friends and I will definitely use their excellent service again."
"Great service, really helpful both by email and phone. Lenses in great condition and worked perfectly. Helped me out of a jam in short notice and would definitely use again."
