Need a long lens or a camera for your birding trip? Rent one today!

Birdwatching NC is proud to announce a partnership with Lensrentals. This allows greater access for bird loving photographers like you to get out there to capture great “close up” images without having to spend a ton of money on the purchase of a long lens or high end camera body.

Renting a camera or lens is easy! Just select the product you’d like to use and Lensrentals will ship the lens or camera right to your front door. Got a last minute trip? Average shipping time is only about 3 days from the time you place your order!

WANNA KEEP THAT GEAR FOREVER?

Another cool thing about Lensrentals is that you can try before you buy! The Lensrentals Keeper Program allows you to purchase your rental if you decide to keep it.

You can rent the lens for a week and if you don’t like it, return it. Or you can buy the lens at an affordable price! Lensrentals will even credit back the fee of your rental towards the price of your equipment when you chose to keep it. This a wonderful resource if your in the market for buying a new lens or camera but aren’t sure which glass or body to choose.
