I have recently listed most of my photography equipment on the ***** website for hire. Very reasonable rates. Gear includes E-M1 II, 25mm Pro f1.2, 12-40mm f2.8, Panasonic 35-100mm f2.8, 45mm f1.8, 9-18mm f4-5.6. Accessories such as flash, tripod, light meter, video light etc also available. I'm based in London, E17 and offer friendly support to fellow M43 users. I can't seem to post the link but you will be able to find my stuff by searching ***** username Nick. My profile contains a full list of equipment available.

Re: M43 Equipment available to rent
Hi Nick,
Welcome to the forum. I can appreciate your enterprise in offering your camera equipment for hire, so that you can recover some of the cost, but we do have a policy of no trading or advertising commercial goods and services. Furthermore, we do have a hire service attached to this site and would not wish this to be undermined.
I hope you enjoy the opportunity for lively discussions and sharing of excellent pictures that the forum offers, with a little humour thrown in.
John

Re: M43 Equipment available to rent
Having read Nick's profile I don't think he is your average spammer. I believe he is a genuine Olympus user who has come across a novel idea for making a bit of extra cash and didn't realise it broke forum rules. I saw an article in Amateur Photographer magazine recently, which promoted the idea of funding your equipment by renting it out when you're not using it and this could be where the idea originated. The opening post did not provide a link and I'm assuming that not that many people will bother to google, but if it gives peace of mind I will blank out the relevant bits. I chose not to delete this thread to give Nick the chance to explain himself if he wished.John

Re: M43 Equipment available to rent
I suppose I could have rented everything and disappeared into the wilds of Canada. Not that I want a gimmick laden novelty camera for my keyring.

I was curious enough to Google that website but you needed to register to get any gear lists so didn't bother going any further.Comment

Oh, so you are not really in the wilds of Canada - where it would take a fortnight following moose and elk trails just to reach Grizzly Adams' cabin in the woods.Originally posted by David M View Post

Re: M43 Equipment available to rent
SWMBO hasn't chased the Bear off for a week or more. Last week it was a Skunk twice. The second time the dog went after it but the Skunk turned around and headed back into the bush rather than spraying the dog.Originally posted by JohnheatingmanDavid seems to attract several wild bears to his property on a weekly basis where he is now. I shudder to think what he would attract if he was further into the wilderness

I missed a Skunk by inches on my way to work the other morning.Comment

That would have been a great way to get a day off work - they surely would have sent you home!Originally posted by David M View Post

Re: M43 Equipment available to rent
I suspect it thinks someone waving a finger at it and saying 'NO' as it's eyeing up the bird feeders is certifiable and to be avoided.Originally posted by JohnheatingmanBears are reportedly quite intelligent animals so it's probably decided confrontation with SWMBO is not a healthy option

Actually I was surprised it hadn't sprayed the car, I was so close to hitting it I was waiting for the thump.Originally posted by Zuiko View PostThat would have been a great way to get a day off work - they surely would have sent you home!Comment
