I tried Google .......... :thumbsdown::thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

There is a thread on Pentax User that says none for hire in UK.

I love the quality of my Pentax, but get a bit frustrated at kit availability.

No one in the UK.

Why not see if Stuart at lenses for hire might buy a couple?? if demand is there.....

It is frustrating that there is nowhere in the UK that hire's them.

I must admit I have not asked Stuart out right, but below is a quote from the Q & A section of Lensforhire's website.

Do you have plans to offer lenses for Sony / Olympus / Pentax?

Well, we prefer never to say never, but we don’t have any immediate plans. The trouble is, according to the figures we’ve seen Canon and Nikon have over 80% of the DSLR market between them (and virtually 100% of the pro market), and that remaining 20% is split between Pentax, Olympus, Sony and others. For the foreseeable future we’re likely to get far better returns from the Canon and Nikon ranges, and we have to worry about that because this business has a phenomenal appetite for cash. But we’re keeping the DSLR sales trends under review, and we would hope to be able to diversify further at some point in the future.

It doesn't look hopeful unfortunately.
