I believe there are rentals for expensive lenses in the US, but are there any in Singapore? I think it will be so much better to try out expensive lenses first before buying them. Will also be great for important events that happens once a year or less, like kid's birthday, weddings, etc. |

Hi Teresa, Nice meeting you and the family this morning. I agree with you, it'd be wonderful if there is such business in renting alpha lenses. We would then be able to access seldom used lenses for special occassion. I know of one website that offers canon/nikon lenses but not alpha unfortunately. May be Ming can start the business?

Thanks Ongl, nice to meet you too! Dewakarma, sure, understand. I'm not referring to guys in the forum, was inquiring more about third party outside that may have these services. |

hi sis, i seen Canon and NIkon lens for rental... but not alpha.. i think its because the market is not as big as the canons and nikons.. so they dont do alpha mount lenses... |

Why got my name here also ... ? I where got a so many Lenses ? Just a few only ... Hi mjoshi . You really gave me a shock today when i saw you ... Talking about this Lens Rental thing , i am not very sure also . Have heard of Lens Rental for A Mount some times back , but the topic was cold & left behind . Bro Dewakarma & some got the point . I don't think i will do this 'Rental' thing , and i am worried about the 'Accidental' thing also . This 'Sorry' word is very very sensitive ... If not handled properly , or just a 'Ding' ... Anyway , I am not that selfish or stingy la , i will not mind lending my Lenses during outing together .Maybe you like to tell us , which range are you looking for ? |
