I've been meaning to try that lens hire out, any hidden costs or is the price you see what you pay?

same here. I want to play with & T&S lens - but havent got round to it yet. I think you have to pay to courier it back to them, at your risk or summat.

Wouldn't recommend the 11-16mm for FF, it's a crop lens and only usable at 16mm......I've checked ;)


Oh and aren't you lot a bunch of bastards bringing that 135mm to my attention!

hmm, do we trust one another to go halfers on a couple lenses? perhaps i get the 135mm and you get the TS and we both have a couple days of each?

That is what I thought and had always put me off, just in case. Picture Canning in Newcastle stock 5D so I would guess they do Canon lenses but doubt they are as competitive as them prices. They don't have a rate card online but I have to go in soonish to rent some other kit so will have a check.

hmm.. maybe after somebody has tried them out - see what the crack is.

Mind, they can't be that bad - just found this on the t&c's

"Why so many Canon lenses? Why so few Nikon lenses?

It's quite simple. We're Canon users and we understand the Canon range. All that alphabet soup you get in Nikon lens designations is just too confusing for us."

I was in the camera shops down here and noticed you can buy tilt and shift adapters to supposedly turn a normal camera lens into a Tilt and Shift - might be a cheap solution to try.
