I rented a Tamron 18-400mm lens to take on our bus trip so I didn't have to cart all my lenses with me. I had one more day to try it out before sending it back. I will try a Sigma 18-300mm one day to compare the quality of the two lenses. If you want to try a camera or lens before buying, try Lensrentals from Cordova, Tennessee. [ https://www.lensrentals.com/] They also offer rent to buy. They will apply your rental fee to the price of the camera or lens if you choose to keep it.
@dutchothotmailcom - No I didn't. I don't trust squirrels. You give them nuts at this tree and they scurry down and climb another tree pretending that they are a different squirrel and try to hit you up again. But, I'm on to their sneaky tactics. π
Such a cutie! Awesome detail. I love lens rental. It is great to be able to try something out before you buy it. I have never tried a Tamron lens before, but I have sigma. They are great lenses.
haha -- that squirrel needs to come visit me because I ALWAYS have spare nuts at the back door to any squirrels that come knocking! Good tip to try out before you buy a new lens!
