Well, at least I'm excited!

Canon/Nikon/Olympus

Brand new company so hopefully their collection will grow even more...

Nice find. Mike's in Boulder is still an easier way to rent. But this site seems to have much more.

I like it! Reminds me though, I need to see what Mikes by my office has available in Oly for rental...


Just checked online - they don't do Olympus. They suck.

Hey where did you see that? I wonder if you could just rent direct from them?

I wish they had the 70-300mm though. Oh well.

Their FAQ said something about picking up locally, so I emailed to see where they are. They said Boulder.

That's GREAT! I'm excited!

Shipping
3-day standard shipping is included with every rental, but you also have the option to upgrade to 2nd day or overnight if you need the item sooner. Additionally, if you are in the Denver metro area, you have the option of picking up the item from our offices. If you select this option, you need to e-mail us and schedule an appointment for the pickup and return of the item(s). If you upgrade shipping, the price you see for the upgrade includes both directions. That way, you never have to worry about return shipping preparations (unless you lose the return label). If you do happen to lose the return label, then return shipping will be your responsibility, so treat the label like it?s cash.

Just realized you have to rent for a minimum of 4 days...Is this right? Grrr!

So I e-mailed them in regards to the 4day minimum.

If you pick up the lens you can rent for less than 4days if you want. They only have the 4day minimum if you have it shipped to you. Just FYI.

very interesting...it's definitely a great way to try out some equipment before you decide to invest in it.

Anyone know where I could rent a monopod for the day? I thought about hand holding, but I think it'd be worth it to get a monopod just in case.

Thanks!
