$75 would go towards a purchase of Nikon D300s (i’ve been putting money aside for a while) and if I get a free lens rental I would ask for Nikon Tilt-Shift lens to continue my miniature San Francisco series.
I would buy some honl light modifiers. I could get a lot of goof stuff for $75. As for the lens, I would rent the Canon 100-400 IS to shoot the shuttle landing next week!
I would use my Adorama card towards the purchase of a 35mm 1.8 lens I’ve been eyeing…
I would probably try to rent a 70-200 just to see what all the fuss is about (and if I have the required muscle tone to heft that giant thing around all day!)
If I won the gift certificate to Adorama, I would probably use it towards a new lens – either the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L or the 85mm f/1.8 If I won the lens rental I would try the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS

I would probably put the $75 toward a new Canon 7D and if I were to get a lens rental I would want to try out either a 500mm or 600mm for the wildlife here in Jackson Hole!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your amazing information and contests! Love it!
If I won the Adorama certificate, I would buy more memory cards.
If I won a lens rental from BorrowLenses.com, I’d get the 70-200 2.8
Have a great day!
I’d put the gift card toward a better camera. I’d like to rent a wide-angle lens, but have to do some research on which one.
Thanks for the giveaways!
If I won the GC, I would purchase a grip for my new 7D. I had one on my last camera and I’m really missing it. It would help pay for that.
If I was able to rent a lens, it would have to be the Canon 24-70L. I really want to try that out on my new camera.

Sorry, don’t tweet yet (don’t have enough time
The gift card will go to a battery grip, and the rent towards Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM for a shoot the first week of July.
I would put the $75 towards a background stand and seamless.

Well, if I won the Adorama gift card I would probably buy a new camera bag. I have outgrown mine!
If I won the rental I would rent the Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 Zeiss T lens. There aren’t a ton of options for Sony when it comes to lenses and rentals!

For some reason I can’t become a fan on FB but I have put you on my likes and interests list!
I would put the money toward a new westcott apollo softbox. The small one works great, but would like to have the bigger one for larger groups and full length shots. As for the lens….I would really like to try out a tilt shift lens.
If I were to win the gift certificate, I would definitely put it towards a Spyder 3 Studio SR so I can make my prints much better and not have to always rely on someone else for my prints. If I were to win the rental, I would really really love to try out the Canon EF 200mm f/2.0L IS USMor the EF 200mm f/1.8L USM if they would let those be sent out, if not then the EF 135mm f/2.0L .
I would use… I mean SAVE… the $75 gift certificate to apply towards the purchase of a Nikon 70-200 2.8 lens for my D700 so I can shoot weddings without guests wondering if I am in the bridal party or if I am the photographer b/c I have to get so close to shoot with my 24-70 2.8! The rental from Borrow Lenses would go towards renting the Nikon 70-200 2.8 while I am saving up to buy one for myself!
Maybe renting the lens will help me turn out awesome pictures so that I book many more weddings and finally afford to buy the 70-200 2.8! 
If I won the gift certificate I would probably put it towards a Joby Gorillapod Focus. I love my Gorillapod SLR but the plastic just isn’t quite rugged enough and I don’t know how much longer it will last. If I won the lens rental I would get a fast image-stabilized telephoto for my trip to California this summer!
I am so eyeing the 24-70 lens. A little more than I feel I can afford right now, but I would LOVE to buy it.
I would put the $75 towards a 530ex flash and I might rent the new Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS II

If I won, I’d put the $75 towards another nikon strobe! The SB-600! I’ve just gotten started with off camera flash and I am absolutely in love with Nikon’s CLS system! Also, If I had a chance to rent a lens for a week, it would no doubt be the 85mm 1.4D for its amazing bokeh!
I would rent the Nikon 70-200 and would use the gift card to buy a new lens (to be determined!)
$75 from Adorama would go towards a new 7D! And a free lens rental would be great for the Canon 500mm to be used in Yellowstone!
My next lens purchase is the 50 1.4 and my next rental will be the 24-70
I would probably buy some seamless paper..and i would love to rent a macro lens to play or fisheye lens..
OH well the $75 would go towards a Nikon 24-85 2.8/4…and I would rent an ultra super crazy wide angle. Something I would probably never buy (well not yet) but would LOVE to shoot with…
I would use the Adorama gift card to purchase a diopter lens that would help with ring shots until I can afford a macro lens. The loaner lens would probably be a fisheye as I would love to play around with that! I’ve never used them!!
I would use the gift card towards another memory card and I would want to rent nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 vrII
The lens I would rent is the 24-70mm 2.8. From Adorama I would probably get some kind of easier bad or some inserts for messanger bags. I love my canon bag but it can get cumbersome. And maybe a couple extra CF cards.
If I won the gift certificate to Adorama I would buy a reflector set. The lens I would like to rent from borrow lenses is the canon 50mm 1.4.
Good question… I’d rent the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L. I hear so many wonderful things about the lens, but it’s heavy, so I want to try it before buying it! If won the Adorama gift certificate, I’d invest in a couple of lighting stands and an umbrella. I’m just getting into off-camera lighting.

From adorama? I would love to invest in a flash! And if I won a rental, I would love to try out the Nikon D3… a dream camera of mine!
I would definitely put i towards my dream lens. Canon 24-105mm L IS
And if I were to win the rental THAT is the lens I would rent!
I would by more CF cards and I would rent a wide angle or fish eye lens.
I would put the gift certificate toward the purchase of a 50mm 1.4 canon lens. I have been using the 1.8 and would really LOVE the 1.4. I would rent the canon 24-70 2.8. I rented it once and it is an amazing lens!

I would buy a CF card from Adorama and rent a fisheye.

I would buy a Nikon d90 with my GC (well it would add to me buying it LOL) and I’m not sure what lens I’d want to rent first!

I need a good lens for indoor/sports photography (my son is a wrestler, and I take a lot of pics in the gym). So, I would rent a trial lens first, and then I would use the gift certificate to help buy one.

I would like to rent a micro lens,
What would I buy from Adorama, maybe lights?
-I would put it toward the purchase of the 5D Mark II
-any L glass I could find.
If I were to win, I would put the gift certificate towards a new lens, probably 85 1.8. If I were to win the lens rental, I would try a tilt shift lens!
i would first rent the canon 24-70 2.8L and if i love it as much as i know i will (i currently use the tamron equivalent and am ready to upgrade!) that is what i would put the $75 toward
)
Endless possibilities to what I could buy with the Adorama GC… I’d love to try the Canon EF 85mm 1.2!
Adorama – Reflector/diffuser; Borrowlens.com – The sweetest lens I could find to fit on my little, basic Nikon d40. I only have the kit lens, a 55-200mm and a 50mm. I want to try something big and powerful and expensive!! lol
If I won the gift certificate to Adorama, I would put it toward either an 85mm or 80-200mm lens. If I won the lens rental I would rent the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, which is my dream lens (hoping that I’d find it way too heavy and impractical and could therefore set my sights on a more affordable lens!).
