I'm excited. Just placed my order for a Lensrental.com Lens lotto!! Not sure what i'm going to get.

Should've done it last night so i didn't have to pay more for overnight shipping.

Here is what i told them.

I will be going to NYC for a trip 12/26 to 12/31.

I would like a good all around lens for NYC type shots.

I currently shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II, i will most likely be bringing my 24-70L, 135L, and Sigma 50 f/1.4 EX DG along.  I think my tripod will be staying at home due to dodgy run-ins with cops.

Hope whatever you guys choose for me will be a great experience!


I could be getting anything from this list that fits my 5d mark II.. lets hope i get a 24 ts-e or 35L LOL

Dodgy run in's with cops? What do you mean? You're not allowed to take pictures in certain areas or?

Sounds cool - I didn't know you could rent lenses.... :O

You can take pictures anywhere you want as long as it's on a public property. But cops still like to harass photographers : /

Lensrental.com is epic btw. ^^

Lol, I got stopped by Police for taking photos in a private shopping centre, then got a phone call from a detective a few days later. He let me off 'cause I sounded middle class :D

I don't know if I have posted this link in here before:

I believe "loitering" by setting up a tripod would be the only reason the cops would harass you.
The voyeurism part is funny though. Reminds me of these pictures:

That is so weird... cops have driven by me before, they slowed down to look at what I was doing, but never stopped to ask me questions. If they did, I'd be a little nervous but I have nothing to hide so I don't see what their problem is :lol:
