Lens Chess set for rent...anyone???

[badrano]

So, after browsing through all the links in the Photography Equipment & Products forum (http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...s-new-tamron-150-600mm-f-5-6-3-poping-up.html) on reviews for the new Tamron 150-600 lens, I was poking around on LensRentals.com and came across their Lens Chess set for rent.

At first, I was like, "What is a Lens Chess Set?" Apparently you can rent a 32 piece lens set and each lens in the set represents a chess piece. It's kind of cool until you look at the price.
Only a mere $7k for a 4 day rental and if you want to buy the set, it's only $150k.

You know what, I've been wanting to teach my kid chess. I also want to expand my lens collection. Gee...I could kill 2 birds with one stone...as they say

Yup, for around $150k, Lensrentals throws in a $13 value photo-joke T-shirt. This is a great example of the kind of value that Lensrentals.com stands for!

I think I'll rent the set, then use it for bowling instead.

Wow.. that is a serious intersection of uber geekiness there.

I'm fairly certain Roger has that chess set available just as a joke, I doubt he has ever rented it all out, he only had 1 rental of his monster 200-500 f2.8 siggy before he put it up for sale. He's kindof a comical guy if you've never read his stuff or talked to him before.

This is one of the nerdiest things I've ever seen. That being said, I kinda want it... Guess I could always take out another mortgage.
