jeff_shurak Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Does anyone know of any websites that rent Pentax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william-porter Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm not personally aware of any place to rent Pentax lenses. I just Googled "rent pentax lenses" and the results I got are not encouraging. If there is a place, I'd love to hear about it, too. But I think that the difficulty getting replacement or special-use lenses is one of the disadvantages of using a non-Nikon/non-Canon system. And for serious photographers, at least, it may more than offset the financial advantages of buying Pentax in the first place. We pay less for the body and less for the lenses, but we pretty much have to buy lenses in order to have them, and many of us (I speak here from sad personal experience) buy, then sell at a loss, when renting and trying would have been cheaper and easier.

jonathan_rush Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Wow! K20D rental for $160 for one week. That would be an awesome try before you buy. I will own a k20D at some point, but I'd like to try out the features to see if it is worth the delta to buy new or just wait until I can find an lower priced used one.

kfrog Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Just found out about cameralensrentals.com earlier today. Sounds like a great business model. Many users from PentaxForums.com are very interested, including me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserere_mei Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I find our little forum to be behind the times on some occasions. Here is a long thread (where Barry, the CEO of CameraRentals.com, has posted) on the other forum: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/24688-finally-you-don-t-have-pro-try-out-pentax-s-lenses.html There is also a cool option-to-buy if you find that you just cannot let go of a lens when your time is up.
