Renting a camera and lens for my daughters birthday

If you are renting a 5D, definitely look at the either the 85s or 50s. But for you own camera, also look at the Sigma 30.

I currently use a T1i with the Sigma 17-50 as my main setup.

I'd like to rent a camera and lens for my daughter's birthday in a couple months and am just looking for suggestions. My camera/body will do the job, but I want to play around with full frame for starters and also want to try different lenses.

Pretty sure I want to rent the 5DM3 or 5DM2 (most likely the M3 since it's not much more to rent).

Here are the lenses I'm considering:

Canon 85mm 1.2
Canon 85mm 1.8
Canon 50mm 1.2
Sigma 50mm 1.4 (thinking about actually buying this one for myself so that's why it's on the list)

Open to any other suggestions as well.

The camera and lens you have already is more than enough, you have to learn your photography plus learn how to edit photos. Its no point splashing out on lenses. I have been looking back on my previous I thought most of my photos looked rubbish (back in the days when I have started), been learning how to edit them for the last year, voila, they look absolutely fab....now

Hello..
If you are looking for the camera on rent then I must say that many companies provide the required in a very cheap rates. I booked it for my birthday party and enjoyed a lot. Make sure that you choose the best professional camera.

renting for a week seems expensive.

Depends on what you rent, I guess. Much cheaper than buying.
