Yes, as long as you have a purpose behind the camera gear you choose to rent. For anyone doing a professional shoot you can generally include all or a portion of the rental of the equipment into the price you quote for the job. In which case you’re not really paying for the rental. Then being able to rent the right gear or lens for your project will save you a lot of time and hassle. If you try and force something to work that isn’t designed for a particular use it’s like using a screwdriver to hammer in a nail.
