Canon Zoom

The Canon 100-400mm L IS mkII is an update to one of our favourite telephoto lenses of all time.  Image quality is of course still superb as was the mkI, but the trombone style zoom has been replaced by a more traditional twist zoom.  This may be good or bad depending on what your shooting of course, some people hated the trombone zoom, some people (including me) loved it.  Rent the Canon 100-400mm L IS mkII or mkI and you’ll get a great shot either way.

Renting a Canon 24-70mm lens in Vancouver during wedding photography season?  Book early!  This is one of the 4 most popular lenses we have!

The most popular lens to rent for weddings and sports events… if you need to rent a Canon 70-200mm L IS f2.8 during a weekend in the summer, you better book early, as they are easily the most popular of the telephotos and probably a tie for the most popular lens we rent overall.  We probably can’t tell you anything about this one that you don’t know already.  Rent it, it’s goooooood.

The Canon 28-135mm IS lens was a common go-to lens before the 24-105mm L IS F4 pushed it into the background.  However, it’s underrated as a great budget alternative, being quite a bit cheaper and much more reach for sport or even photography.

Rent the Tokina 11-16mm Canon mount lens, one of our favourite EF-S mount lenses.  Both fast and wide, it’ll covers Super35 and APS-C sensors (not full frame except at 16mm!)

Note this lens will work with Sony APS-C cameras with electronic EF mount adapters!

We’re gonna need a bigger lens!!!  Don’t get bitten by having too short a lens on your next whale watching trip…  This monster wildlife lens is also great for bears, eagles and also sports like snowboarding, skiing, hockey, soccer, etc…  This is the monster zoom lens to rent!  Note that this is the Contemporary version.
