In most stores, you're unable to try a camera lens before purchasing it. You may not know whether it has the ability to give you the type of shots you desire. To solve this issue, you can choose to rent a camera lens to test out the quality of the photos shot using the lens.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Figure out the type of lens you wish to rent. Most lens rental companies will offer choices from big name companies, such as Canon and Nikon. You'll also want to choose the category for your lens. Available choices include telephoto, standard and wide angle.

  2. Step 2

    Locate a company to rent your camera lenses from. You can pick one of the lenses offered by Photo Lens Rental (see Resources below). The company has a variety of types and brands of high quality lenses.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the duration of the rental. Most companies allow you to rent camera lenses for a week minimum. You may also look into monthly rental rates for camera lenses.

  4. Step 4

    Return the camera lens at the end of the rental period. If you like the lens, you can look into buying options through the company. Some rental companies give you the option to put your rental charges towards purchasing the lens.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember to ship back the lenses early enough to arrive before the rental period ends. Otherwise, you may have to pay significant late fees.
  • You must take care of the camera lens while you're renting it. If any damage occurs while in your possession, you may have to pay for a replacement.
