Going on holiday in Ireland....where can I rent a lens?

[beanbag]

I'm off to Ireland for the first time in my life for a wedding in October and I'd like to see if it's possible to rent a lens that I will eventually buy some time next year.

Does anyone know of any good camera stores that could rent lenses around County Louth, (40 miles north of Dublin).

The lens I'd like to rent is a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. I've got a price in Austria of €32 per day, but since I'm there for 6 days and really only plan to use the lens on one day, that's quite pricey.

It's also a great way of trying it out since it's on my lens shopping list.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

BB

Just used LensesForHire.co.uk for a Nikkor 80-400 VR cost me £48 (I think) for a weeks hire, nice guys to deal with too.

Just had a quick look and they have the Canon 70-200 2.8 for £63.25 a week.

I'm not sure what they have exactly, but Conns Cameras in Dublin would be a good bet
