Not sure if this is a re-post, but has anyone used barrowlenses.com before?
I need a macro lens for a few days and the price seems fairly reasonable.

Use them about 3 times a month, service is amazing, and it is a great way to try equipment that you are thinking about purchasing. Today I have an 85mm 1.8, a 135mm f/2 L, and a rode mic coming and I think the total was right around $65. If you sign up for a delivery on a Thursday you get to keep till monday with 3 day pricing, not too bad.

Yep, good company. I've started using lenrentals.com though. I've found the prices are just a little bit better on most stuff.

Does the 3 days start once the package arrives at your house?
And do you have to pay for shipping both ways??

Yep, Yes you do and that can often be 1/3 of the cost or more depending on what you get
