Lens Rental in South Africa And Insurance
Hi Everyone,
I previously posted the "Gap Year choice of Lens" earlier this week but it has led to some other related questions. Firstly I am now considdering renting a long lens (100-400 L zoom or even 300/400 L prime) while I am over there rather than buying a lower spec item outright and having to lug it around the world with me. The problem is I dont know where to start or how much it would cost. Does anyone know of anywhere in South Africa where I could rent the equipment (preferably near to Kruger park)? Which brings me to the second question. Regardless of whether I buy a longer zoom or rent a lens I will still require some sort of insurance during the trip. Have any of you had any experience with camera equipment insurance companies and would you be prepared to recomend a few? Do you have any comparitive costs? Thanks in advance, John |

Thanks in advance, John The first place to check is your homeowner/rentor insurance company; you do trust them, right? -- Bill Funk replace "g" with "a" |

Thanks in advance, John Based on the crime rate you now have in SA, they should give you a bodyguard and a machine gun with each lens rented. |
