WTR (Want To Rent): a good DSLR and maybe a 300mm lens
So, my non-Facebook friends may not know, but thanks to my wife and some friends, we're going to the F1 race in Monaco over the Memorial Day weekend; yes, if you don't already hate me, you now can now do so with a free conscience.
But to the point: I would like to take some nice pictures from our Casino turn grandstand seats (go ahead, hate me some more - I would), and I don't have a good camera. I may rent a good 300mm lens, but I need the camera body and a 35ish mm lens for landscapes.
Anyone want to rent me one for the week at a reasonable price?
TIA
Bill

BUY this:

Remember that with that size sensor that 250 is equal to a 400 mm

Jill says you can borrow her old rig for free.
D70 and a Tamron 28-300 zoom.
You're welcome to borrow it for a few days to try it out. It's probably a little better than an iPhone.
I also have an old Sigma 400 and a F3 if you're feeling artsy...

We missed the Spanish Gran Premio 3 years ago because the last-minute tickets were so expensive (decided to enjoy Barcelona instead). On the following week we arrived at Monaco 2 days before the Gran Prix.
Enjoy!

You're welcome to borrow my new Pentax K-30 w/ 18-250mm lens for the price of a couple paragraph write-up & letting me use the pics for a blog I'm writing car stuff for - write-up & photo credits will be given to you of course, they're just interested in the traffic it will generate.
Of course, you'll have to put up w/ walking around w/ an orange camera.

I don't think color coordination or the potential fashion faux pas have ever worried Mr. Schenker...Quoc-Viet Dang wrote:Of course, you'll have to put up w/ walking around w/ an orange camera.

And you'll have to accept the risk that he might end up having your camera while sitting naked on the sofa.Quoc-Viet Dang wrote:

Thank you, Art, but I have taken QV up on his gracious offer and picked up his camera yesterday. The camera body is orange and not Ferrari red, but it will do . Thanks again, QV!Arthur Grant wrote:I have a cannon t1i and 70-200 f4 L series lens + a doubler your welcome to use if you don't come up with bette
