Anyone know where I could hire a 70-200/f 2.8ED AFS VR for a weekend in Melbourne?

TIA,

Call Kayell in Collingwood on 9416 2848. I called up heaps of places and they were the only ones who would hire this lens. I asked them how much it was for the day but can't remember as it was a month or so ago now.

In which case I know a rotweiller who'd be happy to help with detaching the arm and leg.

The unethical option would be to buy from a place that offers like a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee.... after the weekend of use, repack it in all orig packaging and you should have no probs with the return. (Aside from the guilty conscious)
