Let’s face it, that super telephoto prime for the wildlife trip of a lifetime is a tempting purchase, but it’s hard to justify if it’s only ever going to get occasional use. However, thanks to rental, you don’t have to wave goodbye to those potential award-winning images, you can still take the lens of your dreams with you, and hopefully – come back with the results! It’s exactly this kind of scenario where good rental houses are indispensable – and why Hire A Camera should definitely be on your radar.
