"Initial enquiry was dealt with superfast and by a very helpful chap. Lens hired arrived at the date and time promised. Fully informed throughout the hiring process by email. Only problem was the queue in the post office when sending it back, but we won't hold that against them!

Will definately be using the service again - very reasonable hire rates mean a cheaper alternative to buying an expensive lens that turns out to be no good for what you want.

Give them a shot, you won't be dissapointed, but if you hire a Canon L range lens, be warned. You'll end up buying one, they're superb..."

"This is a no-brainer. Decent service, decent people, decent prices. My first time hiring a lens (Canon EF-S 10-22mm) could not have been a better or more straight-forward experience. Not only did everything just work seamlessly, but Stewart gave me help and advice via email when I needed it. I don't feel the need to look elsewhere next time I hire a lens, and will definitely use the service again. I would recommend these guys to anyone without reservation."

"This is my first time hiring a lens and the process could not have been simpler, or gone more smoothly! The lens arrived in plenty of time, the lens was in great condition and came with instructions and accessories. The communication with lensesforhire was very clear and timely. I have been so impressed I will be using them again soon."

"Great Value and Great Service.
Little things like there being a decent filter attached, like the return address printed on a label in the box and the instructions for the lens (a tilt shift) being in the box make so much difference.
Compared to the extremely large well known company I hired from last time, these guys are just in a different class. They'll get my business from now on."

"Very happy with the hire from this company. Lens arrived one day before expected with all the necessary documentation and accessories (pro grade UV filter!). Instructions for return were very clear and the communication chain excellent. Thanks to Stewart & co for a smooth and easy hiring experience. Will definitely recommend to all I meet."

"Excellent communications and a timely delivery of an as new lens and teleconverter. Can't recommend highly enough."

"The Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR lens arrived on time as ordered, in a secure case. I hired this expensive lens both for some local events and for evaluation for purchase. The quality was high and the results were excellent.
Being able to hire this lens so easily means that I have decided not to buy one, but to hire it when needed.
LensesForHire provides a good service here.
The only criticism is that the Nikon Teleconverters seem unnecessarily high priced.

"Found the Retailer mentioned with glowing praise on EOS Forums.
Fancied trying the 24-105 f4 L IS and the 100-400 L IS lenses as I was due to take a Caribbean Cruise mid November.
Checked the prices on the site working on a 28 day hire with insurance. I was a little worried regarding the insurance as i was taking the lens's out of the country so i phoned to ask the question it was after hours so left a message. Next morning recieved a call back and all my concerns were cleared up they also confirmed that they had the lenses available.
I placed the order online and recieved the well packaged lenses the day before my hire period started. I used the new looking lenses during the period before i went on holiday they worked flawlessly.
During my trip there was a massive difference to the lenses i normally use and the resulting photo's show this.
On my return i packaged up the 2 boxes and rang the courier to arrange pickup, they came later that day at my place of work.
After checking the lenses they sent me the invoice.
All in all a very good service was recieved throughout the whole hire period.
I recommend this company very highly and urge anyone thinking about trying a lens to go for it. It might save you a lot of money if you try a lens and find you don't like it.
Very highly recommended.
I will certainly be using the company again.

"Excellent service. Superbly packaged. Cost me quite a lot to return it special delivery because of the insurance, but I don't suppose there is any way around this."

"Great service! The lens was delivered by courier the day before the hire period was due and was very well packaged so no worries about damage in transit. It worked perfectly and I was able to get some great photos. I opted for the courier pickup service so all I had to do was pack the lens back in it's original packaging and call the couriers the day before the hire period ended to get them to pick it up. Would definite use lensesforhire.co.uk again as the service was great and it's so easy."

"Found this site by accident whilst looking for second hand lenses. I hired a Nikon 80/400 telehoto and took it on holiday to Africa.
The arrangements for delivery and return of the lense worked faultlessly and I received regular emails to keep me up to speed.
The lense itself was brilliant and I have some cracking shots.
If I have a criticism it is the fact that the range of Nikon fit lenses is not that great yet but I hope will expand in time. I look forward to them acquiring a 200/4000 F.4!"

"Excellent service, on time and exactly as described. web site is very helpful and the FAQ's are actually useful. I admit I was surprised by the excellent condition of the lens and the quality of the packaging. Instruction for re-packaging and returning are clear. No problems and will be recommending to others."

"Hired a Canon 300F4 IS lens for 19 days for a trip to Africa. Lens in first class condition, excellent service."

"I hired 1 24-70 f2.8L for a week and when I took delivery of the lens I was immediately impressed with the packaging. Any worries about the lens getting damaged in transit were put to one side. The lens was in perfect condition and performed flawlessly throughout the time I had it. The hire charge was very reasonable, the service was first class and I can only add that I would rate Lenses For Hire as highly recommended.

"2nd year using LFH. Hired a Nikon AF 80-400mm for a Safari holiday. I cannot recommend LFH enough, first class service, great kit and competative prices.
