Not sure about a lens? Rent it before buying!
With even some primes lenses costing upwards of US$2000 these days, it makes a lot of sense to try a lens before you buy. It’s not just about lens performance, it’s about size, weight, ergonomics too. Trying a lens is a great way to know for sure.
While I always work hard to discuss my concerns about a lens in my reviews in DAP, sometimes you just have to see it for yourself.

I noticed your piece on LR this morning and I just wanted to add my 0.02. I never even thought about renting a lens until I read about it on your site (I knew you could do it, it just wasn't something that occurred to me that *I* ought to try). Those guys are great! I rented numerous lenses from them for varying periods/purposes, Zeiss, Nikkor and Sigma, and the experience sure helped me make my next purchasing decisions (and I learned a thing or two about the behavior of certain lenses - and my cameras - that I'd never read in any tests on the internet (lenses that you hadn’t reviewed), so it was unexpectedly useful) . — Scott H
