Rentals?

Does anyone know of a place in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area (or even
greater Minnesota) where I can rent medium format equipment? I only
find motion picture equipment available among the online Minnesota
sources.

Thanks in advance,
Al

http://www.westphoto.com shows Hasselblad, Mamiya, and Pentax medium
format gear for rent. I spoke with them earlier this year, and while
they didn't have the esoteric lens I was looking for, the person
I spoke with was knowledgeable and professional.

I tried dealing with West Photo in December. While they were indeed
pleasant and professional, their requirements for a first time customer
are a bit daunting (they will not ship item, you MUST pick up and drop
off at their location, must leave LARGE deposit, etc). I ended up using
Adorama and having them ship. Easier to work with and will ship the
item to you on your account if you wish.
