Overall 200 rentals. You can pick up your rental from my place in Potrero Hill.

Outdoor and astrophotography enthusiast. I've been shooting for about ten years and these days my primary shooter is my 5D Mark III. I've also been known to drone about with my Phantom 4 for aerial stills.

Canon 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

This is my go-to lens for the 5D Mark III, wouldn't leave home without it. Great quality, fast, and good image stabilization.

Lomography Petzval 85mm f/2.2 Lens for Nikon F (Brass)

The Lomography x Zenit 85mm f/2.2 Petzval Lens for Canon is a reinvention of the classic Petzval first conceived in Vienna in 1840. This updated version for the digital age is made in Russia and crafted from brass and high-quality glass optics. The lens is famous for its unique "swirly bokeh" backgrounds while maintaining sharpness in the center despite a very narrow depth-of-field. The result can be stunning for both photographers and filmmakers. This lens is for you if you like manual tinkering. You must manually switch out your aperture using included plates, there are no electronic contacts, and you must use manual focus. An excellent viewfinder or using Live View is recommended when trying to achieve focus on this lens using the wider aperture plates and your subject needs to be in center frame to achieve your greatest sharpness. This lens is ideal for patient experimenters, fine art photography, and portrait photography.

Slik Pro 330DX AMT Tripod and Mannfrotto 3025 handle-less head

This setup is great for eliminating shake and taking a sharper picture. Great for low-light and long exposure situations! Pair with a shutter release or 10-second timer and avoid the photographer's curse by adding yourself to the shot. Great for photobooths at weddings! The 330DX has a maximum height of 60" and supports 8 lbs.

Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro

Get closer than reality with this nice little macro lens. The F/2.5 aperture will let you get up close and personal even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.

Excellent Lender!

Adam was very quick to respond. I had less than 24 hrs before I had to be in San Francisco shooting, and he was more than happy to help me out. I got the shots I needed b/c of the lens I rented from him! Thanks Adam!

Adam was easy to coordinate with and very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and the GoPro worked great!

Adam was extremely easy to coordinate with and even took the time to meet my friend & me in a park to give us a flying lesson since I've never used a drone before. The photos/videos that we took turned out incredible – overall a great experience!!

January 2017

Adam was super quick to reply to all my emails and text messages, we had no trouble scheduling pick up and drop off of the gear. I needed to shoot a lot of a very small room and this lens performed wonderfully. Will rent again!

January 2017

Adam was super quick to reply to all my emails and text messages, we had no trouble scheduling pick up and drop off of the gear. I needed to shoot a lot of a very small room and this camera plus a lens recommended by Adam worked perfectly. I was unfamiliar with the EOS 60D before renting this, upon pickup Adam was kind enough to give me a quick overview. Will rent again!

January 2017

Adam gave quick response and was easy to communicate with. Great prices too! Thanks!

January 2017

Very easy to get ahold of, and flexible with pick up and drop off arrangements. Took great care of my equipment, will not hesitate to lend to again.

January 2017

Awesome guy. Really helpful. He even went above and beyond and gave me his phone number in case I had troubles.

January 2017

Adam is the BO$$. Thanks again!

January 2017

This guy is amazing! This service goes above and beyond other camera rental places. Camera Lends is my go to every time. :)

Adam D. responded quickly, provided good training, and was very informative. Unfortunately these things are quite fragile, and the camera apparatus was destroyed by an ~8' fall onto soft ground. Good experience with the lender, but very very careful because the hardware is exceptionally fragile.

January 2017

Great lens! Thanks Adam!

January 2017

Awesome! Very flexible with picking up and dropping off, gear in very good condition!

January 2017

Piece of cake again and had to extend my rental and it was no issue at all. Thanks Adam

January 2017

Adam was super communicative and friendly. Even gave me some macro tips!

January 2017

Adam has been very easy to work with and very reliable! I always get a very quick response, and his equipment is well taken care of.

January 2017

Fast response, easy to arrange pick up and drop off. However, didn't have a flash that was supposed to be in the kit, so upgraded the camera from a Mark II to Mark III, in terms of monetary value I guess it's equitable but I still would much rather have had the flash.

January 2017

Awesome, thanks Adam!

January 2017

Awesome, thanks Adam!

January 2017

Definitely would rent from Adam again. He made pickup, training and drop off completely painless.

January 2017

Adam is so great and easy to work with! Love renting form him and, as always, would rent from him again! Thank you :)

Great camera to shoot on!

Adam was available at short notice, has a great selection of gear and flexible and friendly to work with. We would definitely rent from him again!

January 2017

another great experience. thanks adam

January 2017

Adam made my first time renting through cameralends easy. He responded quickly, communicated well, was easy to arrange timing with and made good suggestions on which gear I should rent. I'll be borrowing from him again, without a doubt.

January 2017

Really solid body, battery lasts forever too.

January 2017

I was really surprised how close you can get with this lens!

January 2017

January 2017

I definitely plan to rent from Adam again. This transaction was so much more convenient and cost-efficient than renting from a store!

January 2017

Awesome service. Adam was so helpful and gave me a little tutorial with the equipment. He was so easy to coordinate with. Such a great service!

January 2017

Adam was timely, accommodating, and a pleasure to deal with. I'd happily rent from him again.

January 2017

It was my first time using CameraLends and after my experience with Adam I would use it again. I rented both the Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 70-200m EF f/2.8 L. Adam was very quick to respond to my request and questions and was easy to coordinate with. Not only that he very helpful and offered advice as to what lens what best for what I was doing. Would definitely rent again.

January 2017

This gopro was perfect to capture all the moments from my vacation
Adam was really easy to contact and super flexible with meeting for pickup and return

January 2017

Extremely easy to work with and flexible. Gear worked great and was even explained to how it works.

January 2017

I had a great trip filming POVs with the GoPro. Adam is a very nice person. I would rent his gears again.

January 2017

Awesome experience! The whole transaction was super easy, the drone was perfect, and Adam was friendly.

January 2017

What a great guy. Can't wait to rent from him again. :)

January 2017

Piece of cake. Very flexible and simple to pick up/ drop off

January 2017

Adam is flexible with pick up and drop off also owns good lens

January 2017

Was easy to get a hold of initially and made equipment available on short notice, which really helped. However, he was unresponsive to calls and texts on drop off day which made things more stressful than they needed to be. Stay close to your phone during rentals and this would be a 5 star review!

January 2017

Adam was a great help! He was very easy to schedule with, had a great attitude when asked questions, and even took the time out to meet at a park and demonstrate how to fly the drone. Great guy and a fantastic rental, definitely would rent from again!

January 2017

Great equipment! Everything was flawless. Adam was very flexible with drop-off and pickup. Will use this service again!
