Absolutely first class. The Canon lens came quickly, after good comms, well packaged and in outstanding condition, and they made allowance for the adverse weather. Lens, service, communications, condition and cost were all exemplary. I'd strongly recommend Lenses for Hire to anyone.

Great communication, easy ordering and straightforward delivery and return. This company has got all the boxes ticked. Would happily advise you to use them when you need one of those 'far too expensive to buy' lenses.

Very impressed with lensesforhire. The hired lens was of excellent quality, and very well packaged. Their website is clear and fully explains the procedure, which was followed to the letter.  
 
I had a problem with the couriers not finding my address, and an 18:00 email to lensesforhire was returned by a 19:00 phone call, after they'd tried very hard to sort things out with the courier. They fully explained all the options, then the lens turned up very early the next morning, which was great.  
 
Highly recommended.

I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the service that I received from LensesForHire. Speedy replies to email queries and a trouble free delivery system. I will have no hesitation in asking to rent again when the time comes around.  
Thank you very much.

I have recently returned a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 lens which I hired from lensesforhire. I could not fault the service, the price or the quality of the lens. They where friendly and very helpful. Also as far as I could see they where also the cheapest. I will definitely be using them again.

I recently hired a Nikon AF-S DX 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED VR for use with D60 over a long weekend in Milan instead of my usual two lens combination.  
 
The ordering process was incredibly simple and the explanations provided on the website talked you through the whole process.  
 
The communication from the company was excellent throughout. Regular e-mails kept me up to date on order confirmation, despatch and feedback.  
 
The lens itself was, as expected from Nikon, first rate and in excellent condition, provided with a Hoya protective filter and very carefully packaged in a reusable foam lined box.  
 
The returns procedure via the recommended courier well was explained and worked out fine.  
 
Overall the service from Lenses for Hire was first rate, the equipment well maintained and the experience both pleasant and rewarding.  
 
I would have no hesitation in utilising their services again or making recommendatiions.

As A professional photographer, i need a fast and efficient service.  
Lens For Hire service is second to none. The lenses are in pristine condition and boxed with instructions and always arrive the day before an assignment. I have used them on many occasions and they have always been totally reliable. A highly recommended company

I needed a lens quickly that was too expensive for me to buy but renting was an option. I decided to use Lenses for Hire based on other reviews on the web.  
 
I was not disappointed, the service is excellent and friendly. The lens was in tip top condition and thanks to getting the day before my hire started I had time to test it and calibrate it with my camera.  
 
I'm very happy with the results from the lens and the superb service from Lenses for Hire. I'll be using their services again and again.

Top notch service from the guys at Lenses For Hire. When ordering the Canon 70-200 f2.8L from them for a charity event I missed the duration box (which defaults to a week). I stated in the notes that I would only need it for the weekend and return it on Monday.  
One of their reps phoned me within an hour and offered me a three day rental instead, saving me some cash!  
 
Lens arrived exactly when it should have, was in excellent condition and did the job beautifully for a great price.  
 
Will definitely use again!

I was very impressed with the service from Lensesforhire. They have given the whole service a lot of thought. The selection of lenses is great and the courier service worked faultlessly. Everything arrives very well packaged and exactly as ordered. The regular emails regarding dispatch and return are also very reassuring. I will definitely use them again.

We were going on safari at Kruger and wanted a better lens than the one we had and were not sure we wanted to spend the money without trying something out first. I even called for some advice as I was undecided between the Nikon AF 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 D ED VR and the cheaper/lighter 300mm version. Advice given was absolutely perfect as I went for the 400mm and it was an excellent choice. Service was great as were were travelling just after Christmas and Stewart & the team made sure we received the lens on time and it arrived in perfect condition. Delivery and pick-up service was efficient even with the chaos as a result of the weather.  
 
It was an excellent experience, great value and I will be using this service again.

Excellent lens, very good service all round. I'll be coming back in the future.

Great selection of lenses, quick communication and very professional. I will definitely be hiring lenses from LFH again.

My purpose for hiring was to try before buying. The procedure was easy to follow but very professional. Costs are competitive and staff are helpful and communicative, (in my case exciptional weather conditions delayed delivery, but I was kept informed by e-mail). Will hire again. Highly recommended.

Fantastic service. The lens I originally ordered was damaged by a previous customer, and the store phoned me to offer me a replacement, a more expensive lens at the same price. Friendly approachable staff, a straightforward procedure for returning the lens. Altogether a very positive experience, and I'll definitely use them again.
