I would think that the answer to your question will vary according to your answer. However, IMHO the prices of used lenses - at least as seen here - - don't seem to have headed south the way body prices have. I would think that if you buy a used lens for a month and then re-sell it, you will probably end up paying far less than you would pay to rent it for that period of time, although it may take a while to sell it.

Are there places to rent one of these puppies? Does it make more sense to purchase one and then re-sell it? I don't have a feel for the market and how much the lens will drop in value. This is "industrial" use - that is it will be used almost exclusively indoors but because of close quarters it might get a bit of cosmetic damage. Personally I don't mind a few nicks and stuff in the paint if the optics are perfect. Anyway, what does the group recommend?
