Lensrentals.com

The guy is great! I think he has a rule about taking it out of the country.. but you can talk to him and he mint let you.

And his prices are fair.. I also like that he dosnt charge until he ships.. so you can reserve now for free...

I keep renting his 135 f2.0L form him :)

You can rent from us. We can ship the lens to you and then you ship it back to us. Check out the site for all that we carry. There are very few orders booked that far out. The rservations don't get charged until we ship also.

We are pretty much the same as Roger's lensrentals.com. Just much, much cooler. :) Roger really is a great guy like Scott says.

Why does our 135mm sit on the shelves? It's still a rental virgin even. :(

Thanks for the input, everybody. The hope is to find a rental place in the Ft. Myers area so as not to have to transport on the plane, etc. If this is not feasible, I certainly will give borrowlenses.com (because they're cool) or lensrentals.com a go.

I live in Ft Myers, I dont think you will find rentals locally, you might try asking Harmon Photographers in ft Myers, they have a contact page on thier website.

85 nothing. It's 72 outside where I am right now. I love Bay Area. Never hotter than 85 as long as you live on the peninsula. Look on the bright side, at least you got Elvis over there.

Yeah, its Dead Elvis Week AND 104 degrees with 98% humidity. It just doesn't get much better than that:rolleyes:. Tourists come over from Europe and drop like flies from heatstroke while they're waiting to get into Graceland. Which is in a part of town none of us would even consider being in after dark.
