Looking to rent the Sigma 120-300mm for a day @ £25 or weekend and came across this company. Not bad rates for day rentals, so has anyone used?

I used this company to repair my 1dn mk11 (program fault), very good service, good coms & a quick turn around.......
I didn't know they do rentals..... worth considering when a special event arrises.

Well good I thought until I just got a quote for the Sigma 120-300mm for a weekend (apparent special rate).

Weekend with UPS delivery on Friday PM and pickup Monday AM total £150.

The a deposit as first time of the cost of the equipment £1587.

So in short I could buy the lense myself. Not to impressed :(

We will give in one hand, but take in the other, nothing nowadays is what it seems..... the small print comes to mind....... But I see the reason why with all this fraud going on nowadays......
