Hire an Alpha Lens
Mike is passionate about Sony gear, it made sense that we fill the gap in the market and provide Son
Whilst it has been possible to hire Nikon and Canon equipment in the UK, until now, Sony lenses could only be hired in the USA and Germany. As we already have premises, staff and card processing facilities and Mike is passionate about Minolta/Sony gear, it made sense that we fill in the gap and provide Sony/Minolta equipment for hire in the UK. We've pitched our prices at the same multiple of hire
It is with regret that I've decided to end the hiring of lenses. Sonys change from A mount to E mount has been complete and the number of people hiring A mount lenses has been falling every year and isn't covering the costs, particularly the costs for card processing.
We have closed our computer shop in Brecon. Doesn't affect Hire an alpha lens at all except that the phone number is now 01550 750278 and the lens return address is different (but a return address label is always sent with every lens).
The website has been updated, four new lenses, a new camera and a couple of price reductions.
It looks like our website is down, I'm on the other side of the world at the moment, doing what I can to get things up again from here, Argggg!
I have internet, can respond to emails and take bookings for lenses. [email protected]
