Anyone ever buy from Lensrental.com?

If so what was your experience?

My neighbor did a while back. A Canon 200, 2.8.  The lens developed a focusing problem six months after, but she had purchased the warranty. The repair took quite a while.

 

Unfortunately these lenses have been used by my folks who don't care for them like a single owner would.  You would think the single owner knows someday he/she may sell it and condition is everything.  Also, lenses don't have shutter actuation counts, so who knows how much it was used. A sports lens on continuous focus gives the motors far more operation than a landscape one would. 

 

Not for me.

Thanks for the info Manypalms. I hear what you're saying, but those are good prices. Maybe I save up and go new to be safe...
