Hiring a lens for an event?

I saw somewhere (can't recall where) that some people, mostly pros can hire a lens for a particular job or event.
Does anybody know of a place that does this in Australia - Brisbane area more specifically?
Thanks
Cyrus

Sorry mate, the only place I know of is in Sydney.
It can get pretty pricey if you do it a few timess, in the end you may be better off buying your own (or buying second hand).
Good luck searching though!

There is a place in BNE that does hire, but dammit I can't remember their name. Maybe Kayel?

Cyrus, might help if you put what sort of camera you use in your profile

Thanks TonyH... any idea on the prices? I'll call them but thought I'd ask before I made the call.
Cheers

Hi Cyrus,
I don't know their prices, but I have been told they are expensive.

One off rentals can be really really exxy
I looked at hiring a d2X for a main shooter for a wedding once and it was going to cost more then a brand new d70s kit.
also most newspapers and or pro's with a fairly high turnover tend to lease lenses from canon/nikon/whomever.
This probly doesn't help much but you may gain a tad more insight into it.
