Prices seem rather high,but then I`ve never looked at hiring a lens before.

Yes, I'm not sure why rental is so expensive in the UK compared to the USA; over there I could rent a cracking lens for about $10 a day.

But if you want to see *really*  expensive...

After a week of renting from that lot you'd have paid-off a third of the price of some of those lenses.

I've rented from Lensforhire before, just passed the cost on to the client :) The price they quote includes insurance but doesn't include return postage :(
