Question

Is there anywhere around that I can rent a few camera lenses from ?

I'd like to try a few back to back before buying one (or two) ?

Do a search on Google for Photo equipment rental. I remember seeing a few shops which would do rental in London...at quite a hefty price I should add. Some wanted an "insurance deposit" which would be almost (if not the same) as the retail price of the lens. Suppose it works if you've got a credit card to give 'em...and return the lens when you're done
