  • I would love to try out the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM. There is lots of great lenses, but this is the one that I am looking at buying and would be stoked to take this on my trip through Big Sur surfing this Christmas time..

    Great pics!!!
  • I'd love to try out a Tokina 11-16/2.8 (Nikon)!

    I assume this contest is still open -- I just saw it referred to on twitter, and I see people are still entering today... but the deadline in the post "Sunday, November 1 at midnight" would have actually been Saturday night / Sunday morning, since "midnight" is really the start of a day, but I assume the intent was Sunday night / Monday morning (Nov 1 23:59 or Nov 2 00:00 PT)?
  • Nikon 45mm f/2.8D ED PC-E Micro would definitely be my choice...

    Hmm... I'm thinking the EF-S 10-22mm or the 70-200 f/4 IS or /2.8 IS. Wait, does the 5Dmkii count as a pro body? :)

  • I recently shot the Olympic speed skating trials and felt kind of piddly sittin next to the guy shooting with the Canon 400mm 2.8. My 70-200 just wasn't cutting it. I'd love to try one of those out. Or maybe a 1D body.
  • You can find my bonus entry here: http://www.invisiblegreen.com/p/643
  • I've heard a lot of good things about the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8, but it's not in the budget. Would love a chance to try it out for a week.

    Jim: I'd love to rent the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM and see what it feels like to use a 'real" lens! So far I only have the 18-55 kit lens and the 75-300 cheap lenses for my Xsi. Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
  • Ed
    Phillip Guyton is on the money, I have been coveting the Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 ZE for Canon for a while but haven't managed to save for it ...yet. Would love to try it.
  • I would love to rent the Nikon PC-E 45 or 85. With winter coming, I want to do more studio sessions with models. So the Alienbee 22 inch pan reflector would be a nice rent for that!
  • Probably one of the longer, faster teles -- 70-200 f2.8 IS for example.
  • airthom

  • i would like to borrow the Nikon 85mm 1.4
  • I have always had my eye on that Nikkor 10.5mm F/2.8 Fisheye. But now that I see the Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye - I'm torn. I could really have fun with 4.5mm.

    PS - I also posted on my blog: http://www.shutterphoto.net/article/lens-rental...

    That Nikon 10-24mm lens makes my heart go pitterpat. I'm already crazy about the 12-24 t I've had on loan a couple of times. Off to retweet.
  • I would love a chance to play with the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 AF-S. My 10 minutes use of the lens last night has convinced me that I need to rent one soon anyway.
  • richardhaber
    I played a bit with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM at PhotoPlus Expo at the Javits last thursday. I was impressed by its mechanics and apparent optical quality and was thinking of adding it to my collection as my first low light level prime. I loved using the 50mm f/1.4 on my old Nikon F and miss having one for my Canon 5DMkII. I usually rent first, and this would be a great opportunity to test this one out.

    Here is a Flickr posting in which I mention you and Borrowlenses.com.

    Thanks for the blog and the contest
