Hi. I am considering hiring a nikkor 400mm f2.8 or a 500/600mmVR f4. Has anyone any experience in dealing with this company - Lenses For Hire Ltd,
or recommend one that you have used?

Had a look at Fixation but they require personal pick up for first time rental and as I live in Cheshire this is a no go.

Much obliged for your input.

Calumet is one of he other very good professional lens and camera hire companies. They got a D3s in for me to test. Their weekend hire is charged as one day.
