Hi All,

Does anyone know where you can hire Canon lenses, preferably in Melbourne? I know of Baltronics and Michaels already, but was hoping there may be other options..

Im heading down to Melbourne for the Airshow this week and whilst the 90-300 USM isnt a bad lens, it does struggle at times at the long end

Cheers,
Chris

I would just go straight to Baltronics purely because its a Pro-Shop and they carry one of the biggest range of canon lenses in melbourne for hiring. The only other that comes to mind is Kayell Victoria but their range is small just like Michaels.

Why not hire out a EF 300mm F2.8 ?

Thanks for that. I've been very tempted with the 300mm 2.8, but its not my idea of fun to lug it around all day ;)
