It depends on your market and booking frequency. In high-demand cities like Los Angeles and New York, the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS is one of the most requested lenses on rental platforms. In smaller markets, finding consistent bookings is harder. Use the calculator above to model your specific scenario.
With Accessories listings command $80-$128/day compared to $50-$100/day for lens only, but require a $3,000 upfront investment vs $2,598 for lens only. The higher-tier listing typically has a better ROI per dollar invested if you can maintain consistent bookings.
