Lori: This was the first rental I have ever had. The lens arrived on-time and in excellent condition. I used it for a wedding and I really like the results. I also took it to a cavern at a state park that I have been trying to photograph but never had a wide enough lens to capture the massiveness of it. The lens is sharp and the distortion is manageable. Though I wouldn't use it enough to purchase it, I would rent it again if the need arises. My experience with Borrow Lenses has been very positive. Highly recommend them for your equipment needs!

John: I rented this lens for 1 week as an add-on perspective for a job. 10 years ago I had the Mark 1 original version of this lens, and honestly it was quite bad. Tons of CA and the typical wide angle barrel distortion, vignetting, and edge softness. Enter the Mark II. In a word - WOW! This lens redefines the Ultra Wide arena. Just the opposite of everything I just mentioned about the Mark 1 version. Here is a personal shot I did of the Google building in Venice, CA: http://tinyurl.com/Binocular-Building This lens is on my wish list as soon as I can afford it, I'm going to have a permanent space in my rolling LowePro for it! Give it rent and you won't be disappointed, I promise! PS - BL service was stellar! They run a very tight ship and the lenses I rented looked like they just came out of the original box. Not like the trash you get when renting in Hollywood/LA! BL is my newest BFF!

Andrew: I rented this lens for a week long trip to Northern California. I was very impressed by how sharp the 14L was. It handled direct sunlight very well, and the flare was very acceptable. The widest lens I currently own is the 35L, so I wanted something wider for landscapes, and boy is this lens wide... Much wider than I was anticipating. The distortion was also acceptable, though I would probably go against renting the lens again. It was almost too wide at times (for landscapes), but very helpful for close quarters.
