Subject: [Leica] short-term use of lens


I'm going to need a wide-angle lens for maybe a month for my M.

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?

Best regards,

Adam Bridge
