I got my zoom lens as a refurb from Nikon. Love it. Have no issues with it ever.

I didn't know you could rent lenses. That makes sense for high-end lenses. Although, high-end comes pretty soon for my budget. When I upgrade my camera body I'll look at what's available on the refurb/used market first. Good cameras like Nikons and Canons are like good used Hondas and Toyotas. You can always find one in good shape from an owner who took care of it but just HAD to have the latest and greatest when it came out.
