Giving Away a BorrowLenses Gift Certificate for Gear Rentals

 

Update: This giveaway has ended. The winner was randomly selected and announced below.


Yo yo yo. We have a fun new giveaway this week: one lucky winner will receive a $200 gift certificate from our sponsor BorrowLenses.com. The certificate is good for everything except pro bodies (D700, D3, 5DMKII, 1D) and super-telephoto lenses [see update below].

To enter, all you need to do is:

Tell us what camera or lens you would rent if you won

There are two ways to enter, and doing both methods will give you 2 entries in the contest, and thus double the chance the win!

  1. Leave your response as a comment
  2. Tweet your response, and include the following link to this post anywhere in the tweet: http://j.mp/ppblgwy

    As long as the link appears in the post, you’ll be automatically entered in the contest.

Sorry, but unlike our previous giveaways, this one is open to US residents only due to the nature of the prize.

This contest will end on Friday, June 25th. We’ll randomly pick a winner using random.org and update this post. Good luck!


P.S. I just screamed myself hoarse watching the super dramatic ending of the US vs Algeria match in the World Cup. Was very entertaining, but painful until the last few minutes.


Update: We previously incorrectly stated that the gift certificate could not be used on pro bodies or super telephoto lenses. BorrowLenses has informed us that the winner can use the certificate on any item.


Update 2: This giveaway has ended. We received 313 entries via comments and 182 entries via tweets, for a total of 495 entries. The randomly selected winner is:

#460: @NickNieto

if i won I would probably rent some a 85 f1.2 one of my favorite lenses!

Congratulations! Please email editor@petapixel.com to claim your prize.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this contest!


A big thanks to our sponsor BorrowLenses for providing the gift certificate for this giveaway! To keep up with deals they have for rentals, follow their Twitter account (@borrowlenses).
