+1 for lensrentals.com

i've always had a good experience with them, and usually they end up shipping it a day early, so i get an extra day of playtime with the rental.

I have rented from lensrentals.com several times. Their pickup office is local to me in Memphis so I haven't dealt with shipping, but everything else is superb.

+1. They've even been accomodating to me over the winter when we kept getting slammed with blizzards about not charging me for another rental period due to me not being able to get to a UPS store.

In the bay area, yeah. I tend to go to looking glass in Berkeley a lot if I need a lens rented.
