So for the project I was working on over fall break I needed
to rent some equipment that PPECs did not have. I needed to rent a fast lens
that would work on an EF mount. I’ve had my eye on the 50mm Prime in the L
series, with an f-stop of 1.2. So I made a reservation online and was going to
pick it up in the city on Thursday.
I got down to the building and from the outside it seemed to
be like the stores that sell knock off electronics. They were very efficient
when I got there, and were able to guide me to grey cards and I was out in five
minutes to ride the elevator to pick up the lens.
Upon exiting the elevator I realized that this giant rental
company was PPECs on steroids! They had about six people at the register, and
at least a dozen people running around getting people’s orders ready. There
were super 35s, cinema lenses, lighting, anything your heart could have desired,
and it was better than Christmas. And then I just got the $1,500 lens. But it
was amazing! They seemed slightly less organized than PPECs, but have more
customers and way more equipment to go through.
Anyway, I don’t have anything to complain about, they were
super efficient and got the job done at an extremely professional level and I
will definitely use them in the future again.
