Hi-
New to the forum & I'm not sure if this is the right forum for my question. I just bought my first digital SLR (Canon xTi) with the kit lens(18-55mm) and upgraded to the 70-300mm IS USM (all I could afford). I would love to try out the Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS USM to shoot my kids sports (ice hockey, wrestling, and gymnastics). Maybe if my husband sees a huge difference I could get it as part of next years Mother's Day/Birthday/Christmas present. I heard you could rent lenses and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of on-line sites. Thanks.

I haven't used them but heard this place is pretty good. http://www.lensrentals.com/

Calumet Photographic (http://www.calumetphoto.com/) does.
They are very reputable.

There is one online rental place in Connecticut:

http://tryandbuylens.com/

They have a good choice of Canon/Nikon lenses. I live in Connecticut, so I was able to pick up the lens. For non-local customers they ship orders using USPS Priority/Express.
Good Luck!:)

I would recommend lensreantals.com. I have rented from them on two different occasion and haven't had any problems. They ship FedEx and the package needs a signature when it arrives. Also they are fast to answer emails even after hours.
