Chicago RENTAL Houses!?!? HELP!!!

[Ill Eagle]

I'm DPing a video shoot this weekend and we are using the Pana HD Varicam but also an XL-2 and my precious DVX for some shots (kind of a 35mm/Doc type video).

I want to impress the director by showing up with a Mini35 (Mine looks too homemade and my G35 hasn't shipped yet).

I was wondering does anybody know of any rental houses in the Chicago area that rent out Mini35's??

You could always try Fletcher www.fletch.com

I've had great dealings with them in the past. I don't know if they rent Mini35s, though.

Never mind.........found 2 and they charge a couple grand for the insurance alone....
