Lens Rental in Sydney

Postby W00DY on Tue Jul 03, 2007 3:21 pm

Hi All,

I was wondering if there were any places in Sydney you can rent lenses from for a day?

I have a photo shoot on the 15/07 and wanted to test out a Nikon 70-200 VR 2.8 lens. I know it is a great lens and I am sure I would be happy with it but it would be good to use one on the job before forking out close to $2k. Make sure it is what I need, comfortabel to use and not overkill.

Any info is much appreciated.

Cheers,
W00DY

Ha, Ha...

Thanks Glen. Not quite there yet but in the process of it. I'm getting my first few paid jobs coming in which is good and I am determined to make a go of it :)

Thanks for the advise on the lens places, I will give them a call.
