Oh gotcha. The widest I have is 80mm.

You don't have to drive to Chicago in order to rent from them. When Helix closed Calumet promised free shipping for rentals to the Milwaukee area. I would suggest to ask about that if you call. You have to pay for shipping the rental back to them of course. Otherwise I know you have to put down a deposit for the replacement cost of what you are renting. I've had to request some emergency rentals from them and they came through so I wouldn't worry about getting it in time.

i have 2 80mms and a 160mm for my portrait work...never needed a wide angle...even for wedding..the 80mm always worked fine...but not for this...

..that lens has to be 2500.00 or more new...Helix was cheap on rentals as well...i miss that place.....i should just call Roberts in Indy...i have an account with them...i should just bite the bullet and buy the dammm thing and write it off..:devil.....BUT....i'll call them monday and see if they can get me the lens in time
