Does anyone know of any local lens rental stores in Vancouver?

I am aware of the ones located in other parts of Canada that are willing to ship, but, I was looking for other options.

I think I saw a post somewhere through google, but reviews seemed pretty bad claiming it was expensive

You may want to check Leo's - it's located downtown on Granville:

There you go, as you can see the prices are ok, but deposits are almost full value

Deposits, based on my rental experience with Vistek and Headshots locally, are usually just a credit card imprint. I've been to Leo's - it's not a "large" shop like Vistek or even Headshots. So it wouldn't surprise me that they want a credit card imprint for full value.

It doesn't get registered against the card unless, of course, you decide to take off with the lens :)

Cheers,
Dave

Another option is Beau Photo, which is on the other side of the Granville bridge.
