Any recommendations for renting lenses online?

BaltimoreBears · 7 days

I needed an ABR800 for a shoot I have this weekend. I compared the sites, and Lensrentals was the far better choice for me. First of all, Borrowlenses only lets you choose overnight ($120) or 2 day ($90) r/t shipping, while Lensrentals has Fedex 2 Day r/t for ~$40. Secondly, Lensrentals charges per day, while Borowlenses only has specified rental lengths; this allowed me to keep it for exactly the number of days I need the flash instead of paying for days when I wouldnt't be using it. Thirdly, the ABR800 has an accessory softbox, which was included in the price on Lensrental, but was an additional rental at Borrowlenses.

Actually, I've had 1000 word blog posts written for me from Fiverr and they've only required 5-10 minutes of minor editing to become postable.

I use Photoshelter in conjunction with Graph Paper Press. This allows me to integrate all of Photoshelter's backend features into my Wordpress website seamlessly.

You're looking for the Photo Sport 200 AW. I recently got one as a daypack when I travel, but I find that I use it even on multiday hikes.

I'm not sure if you've checked these guys out yet but it appears as though you you customize the back and front. Moo Postcards

This was a great tip. I just picked one up for $200 from CL. Thanks!

Let me offer an alternative view of the extended leg room in the exit row. This. This is the legroom on a recent Jet Airways flight in India. It is the row behind the overwing exit row. I measured 5.5" of space.

What's sad is that the drawer used to look like this.

Logged in to post this. This movie delivers on what it promises- lots of nude nuns and lots of guns. Keep in mind that these nuns aren't going to win any beauty pageants. As the RT reviewer said, the editing is is a Robert Rodriguez style. The first half of the movie is pretty solid, but then it lags towards the end: the movie get noticeably slower, the lines get lazier, and the cinematography approaches that of a telenovela. Fortunately, the movie is worth the watch for the final scene alone; it easily makes up for the rest of the movie.

First of all, thank you for your honest, informative response. You, and many others, have recommended a two strap system. I have a second shooter with the telephoto and my backup kit is my old film system which is much lighter than my digital kit but this system will definitely help with just one camera. I'm definitely considering such a system; however, I'm concerned with how to wear this system with a suit and tie when shooting weddings. I have the same concern with the Photog vest but I find that I can fit everything I need between my blazer and pant pockets, making sure to switch some stuff out between parts of the wedding. I'd rather not sacrifice my blazer but I may have to.

I was considering a bracket with a handle for my left hand, specifically the Custom Brackets Pro-M; I would be able to carry the weight of the camera in my left hand when not shooting and wouldn't have to worry about flipping the flash around every time I change orientation. Do you have any experience with brackets? What do you think about them?

Thanks for helping me not to feel crazy. I think some other people who answered definitely took this question as an admission of being unqualified as an event photographer or something. I'm glad you, and others, understood the gist of the question. Your post was extremely helpful and non-judgmental. BTW, how much fun was it to shoot Mos Def?

I definitely trust Jared. I've also yet to read any story of the strap failing catastrophically.

Are you talking about this strap?

This is some pretty good advice. I usually strip down my kit to just the camera + lens for shooting landscapes (the real reason I'm into photography), and usually mount the kit on a monopod for hiking. I think I might start carrying my whole kit when I go out to train and practice wielding the kit.

I'm of the opinion that more than 50% of the reasons potential clients approach me at weddings is because of the awesome looking, heavy gear.

I am considering this exact bracket. though I'm wondering if the $260 price tag outweighs the gain in comfort and utility. Also, for whatever reason, a lot of the wedding photographers I've talked to do not use a bracket. What do you think?

I'm thinking about getting a bracket just so I can have a gripping point for my left hand that's more substantial than putting it under the lens.

I envy the rapidity the BR system offers but I'm still weary of dangling my camera and gear from one attachment and stress point.

DontGetEliminated · 3 months

I've been looking at the Black Rapid straps for a while now for everyday photography but I still cannot get over all of my gear dangling upside down from one stress point- especially with that much weight.

I'm sure it's a perfectly sound design but I don't know if I can overcome my stigma.

I use the grip w/ 8 AA batteries to kick the D700 up to 8fps for the first kiss, bouquet toss, exiting the church, etc. If I don't need that capability or need to cannibalize the batteries for my flash I'll switch to the extra battery I carry or use it empty. The portrait orientation alone is worth its added weight.
