recommendations on lenses I can rent?

Our Canon entry level CAC lens has a focus issue when zoomed in or extended. Canon basically told us "that's what you get for a lens that price" Great good to know.

I'm heading to the Arctic with the 500 and chances of telephoto are great. It would be a shame to have a lens mess it up.

I can rent...
Fujinon
HA 20x7.8
HA 20x7.5
at a really good rate.
They are not CAC but will they do well on the 500.


If curious, our Canon lens, when zoomed will have a circle around the centre in focus and then focus will drift towards the edges. It's almost like a centered radial blur. It's noticable when there is a flat area of high detail behind a foreground element. For instance a bear with a forest behind it.

We couldn't tell if it was a camera or lens issue. Senior engineers from both companies looked at our camera and it came back that it was our cheap glass.
 
Ssems like this entry level HD generation of lenses Fuji has a bit of an advantage as very few people liked the Canon "inexpensive" HD lens line for sharpness compared to the Fuji line. Best thing to do is do a test and see if you notice any CA with the rental lens before you leave
