This is the first time I have hired a lens, this being the Canon 100-400 IS L for safari in Namibia. I would have been lost without it taking well over 2,000, high quality images with it, both handheld and with tripod. Even though I very much enjoyed using the lens, I probably could not justify actually buying one of my own, so, will definitely use lenses for hire again. A very good service experience overall and would happily recommend.
