Equipment rental

[dmitriy_babichenko]

I was shooting a wedding this past weekend and my 5D died. Normally, this would not be that big a deal since I

have a 40d and a 20d as backups. I do not want to buy another 5D right now, since chances are that Canon will

come out with a replacement in a month or so. Unfortunately, I have a wedding in two weeks where the couple told

me that they want some rather large prints from the formal photographs - 24x36 inches.

 

Can someone please recommend a place where I could rent a Canon 1Ds III or a digital medium format system for one

day? I am located in Pittsburgh, but there are probably some places that will mail the equipment to me.

 

Thank you

Try Lensrentals.com. They are based in Memphis, but ship everywhere. I use them quite a bit.

You can also try Borrowlenses.com

I've used lensprotogo.com and rentlens.com - both have been great.

I would highly recommend Professional Photo Resources (PPR) in Atlanta for equipment rentals. I've rented from

them a couple times for different events and they always go above and beyond. I know they ship things around the

country but I don't know how cost effective it is. Pricing can be found at the link below.

I have a question regarding borrowlenses.com, is there really no deposit required? Every place that i have researched

requires that i give a deposit of what the actual lens cost is? I have been looking for something like this for a while! Please

let me know what the actual procedure is with them?

 

Thanks
