"It's always a pleasure to find a company offering such an exceptional standard of service; the whole process of lens hire was swift and painless from start to finish. They even called me back shortly after receiving my web order to suggest an even better loan package than the one I'd selected.
The well packed lens arrived exactly when they said they would, performed faultlessly, and was easily repacked for return.
I’d unhesitatingly recommended them, and plan on using them again myself.

"I recently rented three more lenses from Lenses for Hire, having rented two lenses on separate occasions in the past, and once again found their service to be excellent in all aspects."
"Great service - website sets out the terms clearly, and I couldn't have asked for more help when I needed it - they delivered to my dad's work address as I wasn't able to be sure where I'd be on the day of delivery!
The equipment itself (135mm f2 and a 1.4 extender) was well-packaged and performed superbly. All in all, a great experience, and I would recommend LFH (and use their services again) without hesitation."
"This was the first time I've hired a lens from anyone, so I have little to compare with. But the prices were reasonable and the service excellent. Everything was in good condition and well packaged, and I didn't run into any problems. On the basis of my experience, I've booked another, more expensive lens, which I hope goes just as smoothly. The only negative comment I would make is that the order receipt email I was sent didn't include the dates I'd requested the lens for, which resulted in me rushing off an unnecessary email. But they phoned me back very quickly and cleared up any confusion."
"Excellent service, fast delivery and the packaging was excellent, kept the lens perfectly safe. Lens was in great condition and worked flawlessly. would recomend. A+++"
"At very short notice, I found I couldn't buy a Canon 300/2.8L for a trip I was making and so had to rent one. I contacted Stuart and he was able to source a lens and rent it to me with about 2 days notice - great service!"
"definately the way to do it.
Really fast and helpful service from Stuart, reccommend to anyone."
"These guys are fast, courteous, well informed, full of good advice and a pleasure to do bussiness with - in short; I'll not look anywhere else whenever I need to hire a lens."
"I requested hire of the Canon 100-400L lens a few days before I needed it. I ordered it Wednesday night, it was shipped on Thursday and it arrived on Friday ready for the weekend.
The lens was extremely well packed and came complete with its Canon case, plus front and rear lens caps, lens hood and a Hoya professional grade UV filter. The lens was in perfect condition.
The lens performed admirably and have no complaints.
The service I received from Stewart at Lenses for Hire was first class. I was kept informed of progress at all stages of the hire. The prices were very keen, with no deposit.
I will be renting from them in the future and would recommend them to anyone.

Update 25-10-08 inv. 2008-1006
Excellent service from Lenses for Hire again. Unlike the big players in the rental game LfH do not charge a deposit - which is why I use them as its affordable to do so.
The service is excellent as well, the lens I hired arrived a day early (giving me a day to get used to it) packed carefully.
This is the 2nd time I used them, first was a 100-400L, this time a 70-200 f2.8 IS L but it won't be the last.
I would certainly recommend this company to others."
"How it should be done !
Well done Stewart and Lenses for Hire - from the initial inquiry to the return pickup everything went like clockwork - the lens hired ( Nikon 80-400 VR ) seemed to be brand new and performed superbly well in sometimes difficult situations - including air to air shots at 300 knots!
Again, many thanks and as the 'Terminator' said 'I will return'!!!"
"Excellent service - great lens (Nikkor 70-200 VR) in mint condition. Very friendly correspondence, and everything happened as LensForHire said it would! Very happy to recommend - I will certainly look to use the service again. 10/10"
"I hired the 10-22 EF-s, 17-55 EF-s and the 70-200 f2.8 IS.
All the lenses were like new and performed without fault. The 70-200 on my 40d was amazing... focus speed and accuracy outstanding.
As a company they were very quick to reply to my questions as well.
Next time (and i would not hesitate to use them again) i will opt for the prepaid lens collection as RoyalMail Special Delivery was quite expensive.
All in all excellent.
Updated 15 Sept 2008
Used LensesForHire again. Yet again superb service. 17-55MM f2.8 IS & 85MM F1.8 both great lenses."
"Used LFH for the first time, got a very swift response to my query about what sort of lens would be required for the task.
The lens arrived on time, well packed, with a very simple how to return instructions.
I have no trouble recommending LFH for amateur or professional photographers"
