Helix Photo in Chicago has a large rental dept.

I don't know if they'll ship or if you have to go in person.

wow

wow, I just checked rent glass as well, no much available.
Maybe all out, or maybe out of biz.

I heard the Canon is heavy...why does everyone keep telling me that

When we were in Alaska, I learned that you can't go wide enough.

I have a EF17-40mm f/4L USM, and because of crop factor, it wasnt wide enough. I also took my 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM for animals and birds.
