Canon Lens Rental
Can you recommend a website for Digital SLR Lens rentals?

Right now I just have the body of my camera (a Canon) but I want to rent some lenses and see if I like the effect they give my pictures before I buy them. What website do you use? Also, can you just recommend some lenses in general? I want one that’s good for taking indoor pictures, and pictures of smaller things, and one that’s really good for taking pictures outside of like the city scape. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

There are only two sites that I know of that allow you to rent lenses and they specialize in doing so.

http://www.lensprotogo.com

and

http://www.lensrentals.com/for-canon

I have not done any business with these sites so I cannot specifically vouch for them but I know they have been around for a little while.

Otherwise, depending on what the fees run, maybe it’s only about the same cost as purchasing a new lens, then returning it and paying a restocking fee? Whether or not this is feasible just depends on the value of the lens you need, I guess.

Hope that helps.

Something about Canon EOS 1D Mark IV 16.1 Megapixel

The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV 16.1 Mega Pixel is an effective digital single lens reflex camera which also happens to be one of the finest advents of modern day technology. The camera comes across as the successor to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III and is considered to be a fierce rival of the Nikon D3s. It has been in the news for a long time now for being the first canon released DSLR camera to feature the HD video recording at 1080 pixels. The camera has sleek dimensions of 27.9mm x 18.6 mm with an inherent APS-H CMOS Sensor that comes into play when the object is being focused on for a shot.

The camera has Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors and a canon EF Lens Mount, features that have an integral role to play when images are about to be captured and their indications validate whether the time to take the shot is opportune or not. Novel inventions such as the autofocus modules have also been incorporated into the camera, namely the 45 AF points with the 39 cross type AF points. The autofocus features converges the focus such that the photographer does not even have to take a position and the object becomes the centre of focus within no time with the frame being adjusted only for it.

The integrated sensor cleaning system within the camera invariably has all the sensors cleaned up and ready for action the moment that camera gets switched on and objects start becoming the centre of the photographer’s focus. There is a speed equivalent within the camera which has been established at 100-12800 ISO which ensures that the photographs are clicked within no time and also come out instantly. The shutter speed of the camera is 30-1/8000 sec and the shutter unit has been tested and confirmed at 300,000 cycles.

The Canon EOS 1D Mark IV boasts of an auto lighting optimizer that acts as natural light when the shot is ready to be taken. The body of the camera has been kept very robust and made out of magnesium alloy with the live preview mode being another one of the flagship features that the camera boasts of. The color department has been flooded with 920,000 Dots of Clear View II TFT liquid crystals with a viewing angle of 160 degrees. The camera allows continuous shooting of up to 10 frames per second.

Canon has always exemplified quality and believed in producing quality rich innovative models that always offer something new to the consumer out there yearning for technological prowess. The consumers want to splurge but only on those cameras that gives them the qualities they look for in such high end gizmos, which the EOS 1D Mark IV proves out to be. The camera comes across as one of the finest embodiments of new age technology, in the process exemplifying the heavyweight that Canon is in the realm of digital cameras.

The only animals that are quite far away are the tigers/wolves/elk/deer the rest of the animals are some-what close .

Hi Fur!

Reconnaissance is always better than guessing. So I’d do a field trip and make some informed ‘guesstimates’ about what distances you’re looking at, the distance scale on the lens will help you to work it out accurately. Pay special attention to the particular animals you want to shoot and take some notes; note how much space you’ll need to remove from your viewfinder image – visualise it.

Hopefully you’ll end up with an accurate guide about the focal length (or range) that will suit you best for those circumstances. Next pick the lens with the widest possible aperture. A day long recce should give you an idea of feeding times, habits, angles and qualities and directions of light. This will make your shooting trip much more productive and successful, which should help you get the most out of your trip, especially if you are spending money on hiring a decent lens.

Happy shooting… ;-)
