"Second time of using LFH and their advice, service and helpfulness is every bit as good as before. Nikon AF-S 300mm f/2.8 G IF-ED VR is a stunning piece of kit, matched with an efficient service. You simply can't go wrong - and the what you see is what you pay pricing is very competitive. An excellent company to do business with!"

"Excellent service, 100% recommended"

"I thought the servivce from LFH was excellent, they always kept me informed of what was happening, provided useful information on how the process worked, were significantly cheaper than the alternatives I found, and the lens provided (Canon 100-400L) was like new and had all of the accessories you could expect (caps, UV filter, hood).

I was particularly pleased with the way they ensured the lens was delivered the day before I needed it, and that I could return it on the day after, without being charged for these days (or the days it was in transit).

I hired this lens because I needed it for a safari, but now I know how simple the process can be I will definately consider hiring lenses more often (although with the price of delivery, it might not be worth it for less than a week or so)."

"I was very impressed by the whole process. Selecting the lens and confirming its availability online is easy - the options for hire are straightforward and easy to understand. My order was confirmed promptly and delivery was a breeze - it was also packaged with return labels that made sending back the lens a doddle.

I would never have been able to handle and use such a high quality lens without this service and the people at Lenses for Hire (yes, it's people you're involved with not automatons or machines) are friendly and helpful. The value for money is extraordinary.

Simply brilliant and I will be using them again."

"Quite simply: superb. I don't think that they could have been any more helpful, friendly and down to earth. Excellent service backed up with good prices."

"This is my first time using LFH and I wasn't sure of how it all worked.

I went through the wealth of information supplied on the site and for once, found the information I was looking for and more.

LFH have a different approach to business in a way that it doesn't feel like you're dealing with machines and stuffed shirts, but more like you're dealing with an old friend in photography.

The price was very good value for money, the product was delivered quickly and safely and the lens certainly came in handy for the shots I had to take.

Their willingness to help and the communication was simply second to none and as a result, I shall be returning for all of my lens needs!!

Many thanks for offering such a splendid service

"rented the canon 10-20mm lens, great lens, very help full staff, my emails were alwats answered very quickly! will use to rent again in the future."

"I rented a canon 500mm prime lens. All communication was speedy and informative as well as polite. The lens was in as new condition and performed faultlessly throught my weeks rental. A first class facility at a favourable rental price, i would thoroughly recommend lenses for hire and will be using them many times myself in the future."

"I rented a Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR lens for about a week. Pricing, ordering and checkout were all very simple, as was the insurance policy information. The lens arrived on time and in perfect condition (essentially as new). I exchanged several emails with LensesForHire, and they were always quick to reply and helpful. It cost about £8 to return the lens using Royal Mail Special Delivery.

The lens itself is a multipurpose lens, going from reasonably wide to a decent zoom (on a camera with a 1.5 focal length multiplier; note that the lens is designated DX and is therefore not suitable for cameras with full frame sensors). I enjoyed using the lens, and managed to take some decent photos, a few of which I'm really pleased with. My only criticism (of the lens, not the company!) is that it tends to lack sharpness, although the vibration reduction goes a long way to keeping this manageable. However, this is to be expected from a multipurpose lens, along with the slightly limiting maximum aperture of 3.5-5.6. In summary, it's great for travelling with, as you really only need this one lens and won't need to and swap between multiple lenses, but you need to be prepared to sacrifice a little sharpness and aperture."

"I have hired 3 lenses from Lenses for hire now and couldn't recomend them highly enough the service is first rate and great value for money. You get very fast friendly emails back from any query you may have. You can have your lenses delivered to your work or home or even collect them in person in the pub for a friendly chat. 10 out of 10 absolutely great service."

"Great Service! Great Communication! Easy! Worry and hassle free!

Well packaged, delivered on the date promised, A1 product condition. Will certainly be using them again!"

"Brilliant from start to finish. The ordering process is simple, delivery was exactly when stated, and the equipment was in perfect condition. I'll definitely be hiring from LFH in the near future again."

"Brilliant service. Delivery was on-time and the lens was packaged very well. Had prompt confirmation once I returned the lens. Will definately use again."

"Hired the Canon 100 - 400mm L telephoto lens for a trip to the USA. Everything worked like a dream. Delivery and pickup was excellent with no problems whatsoever. The lens was absolutley fantastic, worked a treat couldn't have done without it. Will definately recommend LFH to others and use again.

Thanks for all the help and support LFH."
