Thread: Help! Help! Help!

what lens would be good to rent for a professional football game. I want to get clear close pics but the lens cannot be over 12". We are in row 7 behind the home team bench so I will be pretty close but I really want some good close ups so was looking at renting a 100-400 4.5-5.6 IS Canon. of course the site I looked at (photolensrental.com) it's out of stock. so any ideas on a good lens for a Canon Xsi and a good site to rent from? the game is this saturday so I would need to order it quickly I'm guessing. how long does it normally take to get to you??? I would need it by friday. thanks for any help!

wow over 30 views and not one word from anyone???
well I got lots of good feedback on my photography board. looks like I'm going to try to get the Canon 70-200 2.8 which seems to be rated VERY high and try to get dh to let me rent the converter 1.4 too.
Here's a few pics I got with my 55-250 lens standing right next to the railing in the first row last weekend at Packer Family night(since the scrimmage game got cancelled cause of a lightening storm is why we HAD to get tickets to this weekends preseason came and with even better seats I'm SUPER excited!):
