I really have been slacking on my end of planning my upcoming trip, which I leave for on Wednesday morning (3 days!).
I had wanted to replace my Canon 28-135mm (non-L) because I just don't really like the image quality. My $100 50mm prime has a lot more sharpness and detail compared to my 28-135. The image is really just soft and I don't care for it. I had considered biting the bullet and purchasing a 24-70 or 24-105 L lens and the upcoming vacation was just another reason to make the upgrade. Well, like a typical guy, I procrastinated and now I'm running out of time and I really don't know if I want to purchase one for full price and pay overnight or 2-day fees to get it here in time. IOW, I predict buyer's remorse due to my improper planning.
All is not lost, however, because there are a couple rental places in the Orlando area I've found:
lenspal
lensdepot
I can rent either lens for about the same price from either location. It would only be about $50 for a 7-day rental of the 24-105mm picked up locally. However, lenspal seems closer.
Does anyone here have any feedback or suggestions on these places or my situation in general? I had honestly considered going the route of purchasing used but the odds of finding someone willing to 2-day me a lens for a price I can afford is rather slim.
TIA,
Erin
