Lenses
Canon RF zooms and primes, insured, rented with or without a camera.
A lens changes your pictures more than a camera body does — and renting one is the cheapest way to get exactly the look a shoot needs. Our shelf covers the four jobs photographers actually rent for: a bright standard zoom, a telephoto, a macro-capable prime and a portrait prime.
Every lens is inspected and cleaned after each rental. Spot anything off at pickup and we swap it on the spot. All rentals include insurance; you'd only ever pay the deductible.
You can rent a lens on its own — just make sure the mount matches your body (our glass is Canon RF and RF-compatible) — or pair it with one of our camera kits and collect everything in a single pickup in Diemen.

Which lens for which shoot?
For weddings and events, the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 covers about 80% of the day on its own — wide enough for the venue, tight enough for portraits, bright enough for the party. Add the RF 70-200mm f/4 for ceremony and reception work where you can't get close.
For portraits, the Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 gives you the classic compressed look with creamy backgrounds at a fraction of the price of first-party glass. The RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro is the do-everything prime: street, food, detail shots and true close-up work with built-in stabilisation.
Shooting video? The 28-70mm f/2.8 and the 35mm f/1.8 are the two we'd grab first — constant aperture on the zoom, quiet focusing and stabilisation on the prime.
Renting a lens without a camera
Most of our lens rentals go to photographers who already own a Canon RF-mount body and need one specific piece of glass for one specific job. That's the point of renting: pay for the lens the shoot needs, not the lens you'd use twice a year.
Check the mount before you book — our lenses fit Canon RF-mount bodies. Not sure about compatibility? Email us; we answer within an hour, in English or Dutch.
Pickup in Diemen — 10 minutes from Amsterdam Central
Collect your lens in Diemen, about 10 minutes by train from Amsterdam Central and easy to reach by car. We test the lens together on handover, and being outside the city centre keeps rental prices down.
Reserve on Gearbooker for a day, weekend or week, pick a time slot, and bring the lens back when the job is done — we handle inspection, cleaning and maintenance after every rental.
