i would like to ask you guys if anyone of you knows anyone or any special stores/centers who specifically caters to hobbyist like me who don't have that much money to really buy a gear (especially lenses) that are willing to have it rented, say, for a day?
i have covered several events already, and all i can afford is a kit lense and 50mm ( i use canon 30D). although i wanted to buy of my own telephoto and wide lense, i just can't afford right now and the events i'm gonna cover can't wait for that anymore. any recommendations? thank you in advance... :)

I do not think you can find such service here. We can't blame them, few Filipinos are not trustworthy.

huh?!! where'd THAT come from? IF you mean that to be a negative remark, i don't think Filipinos deserve that...

despite the chaos our country goes through every single moment... we, as a nation, are still here... i think the Filipino deserves more :)

personally, i would have preferred to read that "there are people who are not trustworthy". man, i'm sure there are untrustworthy people from all races, in all countries, in all walks of life.

not deserves, wants more.

But that is beside the point. As per the OP's request, I second the motion this thread be closed.

if it is not the point, then i believe it should not have been mentioned at all...

:) yup... let's close this thread.. i third the motion
