I've hired a 300mm f2.8 this weekend to use at a photoshoot in Surrey (British Wildlife Centre) - and it was fantastic!
What a lens - you get what you pay for sometimes in life - and I think this is one of those times.
This is one of the several I took with the lens - this is wide open at f2.8 (Exif is intact!)

WOW, what a cracker. 8)
I thinks you're right about getting what you pay for when it comes to lenses. I guess when you hire them at least you get to try them out properly in the too, a great idea if you intend plashing out on a really expensive lens.
So when are you going to buy one? :D
When you hire a lens from Jacobs and then decide to buy one, they will knock off the price you paid for the hire. :tup:
Thanks for the comments! Whilst, the lens is on my wish list, I suspect the wife has other ideas!
Mind you, it could be bought, used for a year or whatever, and be sold for most of what was paid for it. :idea:
