I did some searching and found a few hire places, but none of them are packing a 200mm f/2.

Same story as Wink ...


But I have found the following in and around Melbourne. I am not associated with any of them, but I have hired from Camera Exchange.

All 3 have 70-200 2.8 or 80-200 2.8 for around $40-$70 per day. Maybe this will do what you need, without losing too much in the way of f stops?

If you can make one of my photos look better and you have the inclination ... please do so.

With many of the stores, you'd get robbed within the store.

Correct. I happen to know the location of one about 100km west of the Sydney CBD.

There aren't many stores with them in store to begin with, so it would definitely feel like your being robbed in store!
