Default Hiring lenses

Well as any of you that are into photography know decent lens dont come cheap some ranging into the 1000s of pounds and not everyone can afford that so I looked at hiring.Found a company not far from me that does some cracking prices and offer great customer service Lenses For Hire Collecting my first lens tomorrow for a trip to cotswold wildlife park. So if your feeling flush one week well worth a look.

Whats lense you hiring Stu?

I saw them advertised in a magazine and had a look but i think the fear of it getting damaged and having to pay for a broken lense would put me off. Also the fact that your not going to want to send it back.

£53 Jamie...bargain I reckon for a 1500 quid lens.
Next in line is the 300mm 2.8 vr which is a tad more expensive lol but worth it.
