"hired a Canon 50/1.2L and 2x extender (for use with 70-200 f/2.8 LIS)
superb kit
delivered early enough to have a play before a 3 week trip to Oz
excellent communication and personal service from Stewart
Glad I hired the lens, a real wrench sending it back, but it's on the Christmas list already.
Also glad I hired the 2x extender
used it enough to know I shan't be buying one
so all in all a very good customer experience - well done Stewart and lensesforhire!"
"I discovered LFH through a forum called Photography on the net, I hired the 70-200mm f/2.8 lense, service was excellent, in fact it was so good I am considering what my next hire will be. Highly recommend them and Stewart kept me informed all of the way."
"Lensesforhire offer a superb service. As well as great product selection and pricing, the entire process is run like clockwork with support from Stewart and the team among the best I have experienced. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the service and will certainly be using them again in the future. "
"This was my second time using LFH and the service continues to be exemplary at every level. The personal service and customer care provided by Stewart is second to none - bar none! The Canon 24mm TSE lens I hired was fantastic. In fact I've just booked to hire it again along with a Canon 17-40 f4L and 50mm f1.4 for a trip to Canada next month. I know the service I get will be the best there is, the lenses hired will be perfect and all at a very affordable cost. If you still have doubts and need any further encouragement to use LFH it can only be because you are not a photographer, do not take any photographs, do not own a camera and have just realised you are on the wrong page. If you ARE looking to hire a lens, then LFH is the only place you need look. Hire and Enjoy!! "
"Had the Canon 24-105 4L for a week. Used LFH before and this time was no different, very good all round. Pick & drop works well for me - arrive at the cafe, order hot chocky, ring LFH to say I have arrived, half way through my drink the lens arrives. The only question is 'what shall I hire next time?'"
"Hired a 70-200 f/2.8 for a day at Burghley Horse Trials. www.adamwynne.com. What a fantastic lens! What excellent value! What a good idea! What nice people! No, really, smooth transaction from start to finish, good comms, lovely lens, easy packaging, ***didn't have to pay a deposit!!!*** far far cheaper than Calumet who would charge more PER DAY that I paid for a full 7 day's hire. And it comes by courier. Definitely will use again."
"Great service, great products."
"From the first contact I had with LensForHire I was very impressed with the overall customer information and support. I needed a telephoto lens so that I could take action shots of skydivers at a local club. I wanted to get some great shots for an assignment I am completing. Due to a tight deadline I wanted to get the lens for the weekend. I was told by Stewart to expect it delivered on a particular day by a certain time, and I was apprehensive that I may not get it in time. How wrong could I be. The lens was delivered on the exact day by the exact time, giving me an opportunity to test it out. The 120-300mm Sigma lens is simply awesome. The photos turned out great, and I will definitely be hiring it out again. The hire facility means I can get the best lens for a fraction of the cost of actually buying it. In short, I am very impressed with the LensForHire setup and step by step feedback regarding hire, delivery, and progress at each stage. Excellent!!"
"The lens arrived earlier than expected on the day before hire commenced, this is a great idea as it gives you time to acclimatise to the new equipment.
Not only do you get the lens but the case to safely carry it in and the filter was already attached.
As expected the len performed brilliantly and it was the perfect way to try a product before buying, but I feel I will hire it more often as it proves to be, in my view the perfect and cost effective way of "owning when required" a lens of this type 100-400 Canon L series. You will always get the up to date kit, don't have to find a secure place to store it, for the time you are not carrying it. To insure this lens if I bought it would have increased my photographic Insurance premiums considerably. If I were a professional I would obviously be using this lens more and purchasing would be cost effective. But I am not and this hire system is perfect. It reallty is the complete lens hire package. Returning could not be easier, with options to suit anyone.
A brilliant experience that I have recommended to my friends and colleagues."
"Impeccable service time and time again. Lenses always in tip top condition. Impossible to fault these guys. "
"Communication great through out I will be using this service again! The only bad point is that I now want to go out and buy the lens I hired!"
"Fantastic service. Lens was well packed and in excelelnt condition. Very helpful with advice on the kit and flexible with the rental period. Much cheaper than competitors and would definately use them again."
"Wonderful service, kept fully informed at all stages. Prices were very reasonable, delivery was prompt (love that the lens is delivered the day before, so you get your full rental period) and packaging gave me confidence to send it back safely.
Will definitely be using again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others."
"I had an excellent experience with LensesForHire.co.uk. The lens was exactly what I was looking for, was in perfect condition and worked beautifully. Just to prove how good this service is, there was a slight mixup with my order, and an incorrect lens was shipped to me. I was contacted immediately about this (I'd signed for the lens only 5 minutes prior to the phonecall!) and Stewart offered to drive to my house personally to exchange the lens for the correct one that evening. You cannot, repeat CANNOT get better service than that. I can't recommend them highly enough - I'll be using them for every hire from now on."
"First class service! They acually sent the lens a day early which was great. Highly recomended."
