Places to rent long Canon "L" glass in Canada

[Canonswhitelensesrule]

Are there any places in Canada where someone can rent the long Canon "L" glass? Such as the 300mm f2.8L, 400mm f2.8L, 500mm f4L, or 600mm f4L I.S. lenses?

Thanks.

Thanks everyone. :) Yeah Leo's is great. I bought my current film Canon SLR there, plus my lenses, tripod etc. And I'll be more than likely buying my 40D there as well. They are very knowledgeable, friendly, and give great service.

Trouble is, they only go as high as the 300mm f2.8L I.S. lens. I was actually hoping to rent the EF 500mm f4L I.S. lens, and the EF 600mm f4L I.S. lens to do a comparison. But I might have to "settle" for the 300 f2.8L :lol:

I rented a Sigma 800mm f/5.6 from Leo's in the past (18 months ago), thought they also had the big Canon's available then. I was spending a lot of time on Vancouver Island and Leo's was the closest dealer I had to get long glass from.

Ohh, cool. Maybe I'll have to check them out again. Perhaps they've increased their inventory. Thanks for the 4-1-1. :)
