Camera maker Hasselblad has launched the ‘Rent a Hasselblad’ camera equipment renting program, aiming to give enthusiast and professional photographers easier access to its medium-format photography products.
‘Rent a Hasselblad’ is a global online service and allows you to book Hasselblad cameras and lenses for a selected period of time, making it an interesting option for special photoshoots, when shooting while traveling or for those who’d simply like to try the Hasselblad system.
“Owning a Hasselblad medium format camera system is a significant investment even for a successful high-paid photographer,” said Bronius Rudnickas, Hasselblad Marketing Manager.
“Consequently, many professional photographers and enthusiasts haven’t had the opportunity to see what they’re able to create with Hasselblad’s medium format technology. The ‘Rent a Hasselblad’ program is designed to change that and we’re looking forward to seeing what photographers are able to produce having easier access to our photographic tools.”
At launch photographers can book the mirrorless medium format camera and a range of XCD lenses at around 40 pick-up locations across the globe. However, Hasselblad is planning to increase both equipment selection and locations in the future. In the US renting a X1D-50c for a day will cost you $ 110, lenses are around the $ 30 mark. The possibility to offset rental cost against the purchase price if you decide to purchase a piece of equipment after renting it is an added bonus.
You can find more information and book a camera and lenses on the Hasselblad website.
