8x10 lens in NJ

[lbi115l]

I'm a high school student in northern NJ and it looks like I'll be

shooting a shot of the whole school for the rear page.

 

I shoot 8x10 but only have one lens - a 537mm barrel lens.

 

I really need something wider - I'd like between 240 and 300 - but

don't have the money for it.

 

If anyone can recommend a place that will rent such a lens and is IN

NJ - or if anyone would let me rent it from them - that would be

great. Logistically, I can't work out renting from the city. I can't

get it there and back in one day and can't afford a week rental.

 

Thanks.

have the school requisition the appropriate lens for you if they really want the shot.

Try Pro-Set in West Paterson,1231 McBride Avenue.

 

(973) 256-6626.

 

I know they rent Medium format and 35mm. They may also have

large format.

 

Good luck.

Hi Jason,

 

ProSet rents large format but primarily 4x5 so coverage might be a problem. You'd have to find out what lenses they offer and what ones might cover. I don't know their stock. I can still lend you the Konica Hexanon II 260mm barrel that I offered when you got my enlarger or any number of other lenses. Email me if you are still looking.
