    Default Photo equipment rental

    Howdy,

    In leu of not incurring credit card debt, can anyone recommend any resources for renting camera equipment? I may need an assortment (or upgraded) lenses and speedlight for an upcoming project.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I've used lensrental.com as well. They are ok, pretty average, very convenient. I usually just go to my local camera shop and get what I need. The rates are usually with in a few bucks and no shipping. I've used lensrentals.com when out on tours and business trips where you only need something for a weekend. I'd check around town and see what you can find. If not both are good options.
