"So you can see that tiny chip in the coating right at the front... and you didn't take out insurance.. right?". Take out insurance!!

We are a Canadian company renting lenses to Canadian photographers through the mail. We offer flat-rate pricing to anywhere in Canada; one price for the entire country. Our lenses include a UV filter, hood, soft case and are shipped inside Pelican containers. A return-shipping label is included with the rental and returns are as simple as bringing the lens to any Canada Post outlet.

Hrmph. Broadway Camera did, but nothing pro-sumer. I guess I'll have to rent the expensive cameras if I want to 'play'. I went to Leo’s - they don’t supply Nikon. Hrmph.

I had a good experience trying out a 17-55/2.8 Nikkor for an event. Now I have to own that lens...as does everybody. It's sold out in a lot places, but that's ok, I can't afford it, yet.

The packaging used to ship (and return) the lens was excellent. Overall the experience was good. I’ve used RentGlass before to rent a Canon wide angle EFS lens.
