My family has Yellowstone in our sights for our next big trip. I read that 400 is nothing out there. Looking for places that rent big glass. I found that borrowlens does, I have experience renting from ATS but the longest they have is 400. Any help would be appreciated.

BorrowLenses and LensRentals are, pretty much, the goto locations. My local shop acts as a pickup/dropoff node for BorrowLenses now, so I've been thinking of trying out some of the longer glass on rental. Haven't pulled that trigger yet, though.

Ok I kind of figured as much, I looked at both places. Good thing the trip is a year away and I can start saving for the rental lol.

I use Lensrentals all the time. If you rent a lot you can pay for the HD subscription and all of your shipping is free for a year :)

I've used both. Both are excellent. No real difference between them, unless there is a local pickup point near you.
