Any recommendations for lens hire? Stroud area.

I have a friend looking for a 400mm or thereabouts, Canon fit, zoom or prime.

Anyone got any recommendations?

I've not used them personally but Calumet at Bristol do lens hire. However they didn't have many lenses last time I spoke to them. I think if you book in advance they can transfer lenses from another branch.

EDIT: I assume you mean Stroud, Gloucestershire?

You could try: http://www.lensesforhire.co.uk/

I've never used them, but I've heard nothing but good from the people that have. There are lots of references over at talkphotography.co.uk

Calumet at Euston have a big lens hire section if you want to pickup/return a lens in person.

Have used them and would do again, excellent service and a great selection of lenses.

Cheers all, will pass on the info. Thinking about hiring some myself, although knowing myself it could be a road to financial ruin....
