L&P in artarmon have a 70-200vr for $99/weekend or $60/day Weldell :)

They also have a massive nikon hire range too, plenty of fixed lens options

They hired me a canon 70-200 2.8 for the long weekend, had it 4 days at the stock 21 day weekend rate, with no deposit required at all...

Awesome guys IMO! :)

Hi Wendell, I am fine today. Thanks for asking. How are you?

Sorry, I realised no-one answered your question (and it is a question no-one seems to ask electronically) :D

I asked Borge's many months ago about rental, and they said, at the time, they were just going through Maxwells anyway (like I said, many months ago).
